Between 2011 and 2015, The Department for International Development (DFID) supported non-humanitarian Water supply, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) activities benefiting an estimated 64,560,000 people in low and middle income countries eligible for Official Development Assistance. In 2015, World leaders agreed the Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG 6, which targets universal access to water supply and sanitation. To achieve this, the sector will have to shift from securing access to establishing systems able to deliver and sustain equitable WASH services at scale. DFID is commissioning an assessment of its work on water supply and sanitation undertaken in its previous reporting cycle (2011-2015). The purpose of this assessment is to generate quality evidence about the outcomes of DFID’s water and sanitation portfolio (2011-2015), assessing the sustainability of the water supply and sanitation services we have supported, and how effective our programmes have been in targeting poor and vulnerable people.
The purpose of this assessment is to generate quantitative and qualitative evidence about the outcomes of DFID’s WASH Portfolio (2011-2015) with the following subsidiary objectives:
Objective 1: To assess the availability and quality (completeness and reliability) of information relating to results achieved between 2011 and 2015
Objective 2: To assess the sustainability of DFID funded rural water supply and sanitation services by establishing the proportion of people who still have access to water supply and sanitation facilities established with DFID funding between 2011 and 2015.
Objective 3: To assess the underlying factors that have influenced sustainability and the extent that project interventions have engaged with and benefited poor and vulnerable people.
