Our approach
As part of our evaluation, we conducted a literature review of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) programming in fragile and conflict settings, including WASH services for humanitarian relief, recovery and rehabilitation. We reviewed Department for International Development (DFID) humanitarian and WASH policy frameworks. We conducted a two-week evaluation mission to Sudan. In Khartoum, we met with DFID, representatives of the Government of Sudan and state governments, other donors, international and national NGOs and contractors. We undertook a field visit to El Fasher in Darfur and met with a range of intended beneficiaries. We also met with a wide range of other stakeholders, including local government officials, water utilities, private companies, water sellers and local NGOs.
Review questions
- Objectives: What is the programme trying to achieve?
- Delivery: Is the delivery chain managed so as to be fit for purpose?
- Impact: What is the impact on intended beneficiaries?
- Learning: What works and what needs improvement?
