| 内容記述 | In response to the global water crisis, international NGOs ― working in close collaboration with community-based-organizations ― have introduced new, innovative and low-cost water systems that use available local water resources that meet basic water needs. Since 2008, a national NGO in Cambodia, Life with Dignity (formerly Lutheran World Development Cambodia) has taken the lead by providing Water Supply Systems (WSS) to more than 10 village communities in the province of Kampong Speu, located 50 kilometers from the capital city of Phnom Penh. LWD has assumed an important leadership role by orientating water projects to local communities, organizing community-level stakeholders, facilitating the establishment of Water Supply System Committees, monitoring day-to-day construction and training in the areas of water system management. Furthermore, LWD works through it's international partner organizations to raise funds to cover basic construction costs, while at the same time working with local residents to assume responsibility for the day-to-day planning, implementation, monitoring, maintenance and long-term financial sustainability. The underlying objectives of LWD's mission is to provide access to water for daily consumption, better hygiene and sanitation practices and increased agriculture production. The corollary outcomes of these water projects includes improved health, increased household income, and enhanced educational achievement. Long-term success of this water project will be measured against these aforementioned objectives. The purpose of this empirical research is to assess key socio-economic changes after LWD implemented a new Water Supply System to approximately 260 families living in the three rural villages of Teuk Tla, Mean Serey, and Dambok Roungin 2014. The working hypothesis of this research is that the Water Supply System will have a direct, positive impact on the socio-economic variables of family finances, as well as health and sanitation. In cooperation with LWD and community stakeholders, Dr. Lowell Gretebeck developed an assessment methodology that evaluated various socio-economic changes, measured against key baseline data. Using a quantitative survey, data from 70 households was received, compiled, coded and analyzed in accordance with SPHERE International Guidelines. Following this quantitative data collection, qualitative field interviews were conducted with local focus-groups and individuals on three separate visits to Cambodia which confirmed quantitative survey results and provided relevant insight into research findings. Through this study, the researcher sought to answer the following key questions: 1) What problems are associated with current water use among the "poorest of the poor" in rural Cambodia? 2) What are the most significant socio-economic impacts of a newly installed WSS at the household level? 3) In what ways has the WSS enabled families to improve their financial status through increased agriculture production ― as well as the reallocation of increased savings to other budget areas ― including child education, nutrition, healthcare and micro-business initiatives. The results of this academic inquiry show that two of the primary benefits of a Water Supply System are that of improved health and income. This research also confirmed that clean drinking water has resulted in lower incidents of water-borne diseases and diarrhea. In addition, the availability of water has clearly been an essential prerequisite to increased income as crop yields improve. We can further conclude that the WSS has resulted in other related socio-economic changes, particularly as increased income is used to support child education, improvement of home quality and the start of new micro-business enterprises. |
