PROPOSED TPM QUESTIONS  The TPM will be requested to monitor the following activities, with a specific focus on water supply and sanitation sub-sectors: About the job  Water Supply:  Water pumping: conducted directly by SI and Ihsan field staff, combined with water quality monitoring to ensure quantity and quality of water provided meets specified guideline, including biological and FRC testing of water quality at several stages within the supply process (at borehole, at water truck level, communal water tank level, and household level). The TPM will verify amounts of water provided through water pumping as well as providing additional monitoring of water quality. Specific attention should be paid to verify that all targeted households have equitable access to appropriate amounts of water.  Rehabilitation of water networks: performed by a contractor and followed up by SI and Ihsan field team. The TPM will verify compliance with technical design and BOQs, as well as adherence to quality standards. Finally, the TPM should also seek to determine whether rehabilitation works have had positive and/or negative impact on targeted communities, both during and after implementation.  In addition to the above, the TPM should also verify that the implementation of both water pumping and water network rehabilitations are conducted in line with minimum safety and protection requirements. The TPM should also seek to determine whether both water supply approaches are aligned with and satisfactory for community needs, especially in the light of ongoing reluctance to shift from a water trucking to a water pumping approach in some of the locations targeted by SI and Ihsan.      📚 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗮 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗡 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯! 🌍🤝 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗡 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗨𝗡𝗛𝗖𝗥, 𝗪𝗙𝗣, 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗖𝗘𝗙, 𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗦𝗦, 𝗨𝗡𝗙𝗣𝗔, 𝗜𝗢𝗠 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀! 🌐
