This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard.

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

The qualifying learner achieving this unit standard will be able to explain cross sector linkages, the relationship between cause and effect on water resources and health, explain an integrated approach to water and sanitation and the use of an integrated development plan. This competence will enable the learner to advise communities on an integrated approach to water and sanitation related processes and enable the learner to facilitate water and sanitation processes in communities. This will contribute towards improved environmental health within a community. This competence will expand the skills base of the qualifying learner and make the person more effective in his/her tasks.

UNIT STANDARD ACCREDITATION AND MODERATION OPTIONS

1. Anyone assessing a learner or moderating the assessment of a learner against this unit standard must be registered as an assessor with the relevant ETQA.
2. Any institution offering learning that will enable the achievement of this unit standard must be accredited as a provider with the relevant ETQA.
3. Assessment and moderation of assessment will be overseen by the relevant ETQA according to the ETQAs policies and guidelines for assessment and moderation.
4. Moderation must include both internal and external moderation of assessments at exit points of the qualification, unless ETQA policies specify otherwise. Moderation should also encompass achievement of the competence described both in individual unit standards as well as the integrated competence described in the qualification.

UNIT STANDARD ESSENTIAL EMBEDDED KNOWLEDGE

Learners should have a knowledge and understanding of:

1. The importance of an integrated approach to water and sanitation processes.
2. The need for integrated planning for water and sanitation.
3. The consequences of not adopting an integrated approach.
4. Water Services Development Plan
5. Ways to access the Water Services Development Plan.

Critical Cross-field Outcomes (CCFO):

UNIT STANDARD CCFO IDENTIFYING

Identify and solve problems in which responses display that responsible decisions using critical and creative thinking have been made. This relates to:

Causes of poor water resource management are explained.
Impact of poor water resource management on the community is explained.
Possible solutions to problems are described.
Problems with integrating sanitation and water projects are explained.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO WORKING

Work effectively with others as a member of a team, group, organisation, and community. This relates to:

Integrated development planning is explained.
Identify problems on the Integrated Development Plan.
Suggest solutions to the problems on the Integrated Development Plan.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO ORGANISING

Plan, organise and manage oneself and one's activities responsibly and effectively.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO COLLECTING

Collect, analyse, organise and critically evaluate information. This relates to:

Identify problems on the Integrated Development Plan.
Suggest solutions to the problems on the Integrated Development Plan.

UNIT STANDARD NOTES

INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT

When conducting assessments, assessors must ensure that they are familiar with the full text of the unit standards being assessed. Assessors must ensure that the assessment covers the specific outcomes, critical cross-field outcomes and essential embedded knowledge by developing assessment activities and tools, which are appropriate to the contexts in which the learners are working. These activities and tools may include self-assessment, peer assessment, formative and summative assessment. It may be more effective and efficient to assess a number of unit standards together in an integrated way, thus reducing the overall number of assessments and ensuring that commonalities that exist between a number of unit standards are captured in a way that makes sense for assessment.

ASSESSMENT OPTION
Learners could be assessed using the following methods:
Oral or written questions

PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD:

This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
