The 2010 floods in Pakistan caused widespread damage to infrastructure in Jacobabad district in northern Sindh. In response, USAID committed $35 million to support the Government of Sindh’s Municipal Services Delivery Program (MSDP) to upgrade and rehabilitate water and sanitation infrastructure in Jacobabad. To complement the investment, USAID/Pakistan awarded the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) a Public International Organization grant to enhance citizen’s engagement in municipal service delivery and raise public awareness of health and hygiene issues. Through community mobilization and behavior change communication (BCC) interventions, the grant targeted 275,000 individuals in eight urban Union Councils (UCs) in Jacobabad, including 800 children in 10 schools. Under the grant, UNICEF established a three-tiered social mobilization structure that included: 1) 128 neighborhood committees, designed to raise awareness of WASH behaviors and garner support for WASH-related activities; 2) 16 ward committees, designed to compile grievances and concerns raised by the neighborhood committees and communicate these concerns to service providers; and 3) a city forum comprised of civil society activists and neighborhood committees, which serves as a platform for citizens to voice concerns to service providers and communicate directly with the city government. To support these activities, UNICEF, in collaboration with UN-Habitat, conducted two surveys: 1) a baseline household survey of WASH services and behaviors in Jacobabad city, and 2) a “Willingness to Pay for WASH Services” survey.
