The presentation reflected on the three targets for sanitation; JMP, NSC I, NSC II and SDG, It was highlighted that unless a review is done, the NSC II targets appear very ambitious and could not be achieved with the existing limited resources.

Secretariat was requested to distribute the presentation to all DPs so that it is revised and then discussed in the next TWG meeting.

S/n / Points for Action / Responsible / Date
1. / Share the presentation Trends on Rural Sanitation in Tanzania to DPs for information and review and discussion in the next TWG meeting. / Secretariat / 6th June
2. / Share with members the current communication with Consultant supporting MoHCDGEC on updating the Result framework. / Secretariat / 6th June
  1. Feedback of 1st Health TWG meeting and possible collaboration with TWG4.

On 30th May 2016, The Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MoHCDGEC) had organized the first Technical Working Group (TWG) for Health Promotion and Protection formed for implementation of the Health Sector Strategic plan (IV). This group intended to bring together WASH, Nutrition and Health promotion stakeholders to discuss key issues and advice the Health Sector Technical Committee on matters related to Health promotion, Nutrition, WASH and Climate change. Due to many commitments, a few DPs seemed interested to attend the meeting and it wasn’t clear who among the WASH DPs managed to attend the meeting.

It seemed all DPs who did attend the 22nd S&H subgroup meetingdid not attend the meeting and had no feedback. The agenda was parked for discussion at a later time as seen appropriate by CoLeads.

  1. AOB and Closure

The Chair thanked members for attending and closed the meeting at12:20hrs. Date for the 23rd Sanitation sub-group meeting will be on July5th or 6th 2016 (tentatively) pending confirmation due to the upcoming Eid and Sabasaba holidays.
