The Transfer Project: Some lessons on making evaluations useful for policy ac...The Transfer Project
The Transfer Project conducted evaluations of cash transfer programs in 10 African countries between 2009-2019 to generate evidence and address criticisms of social protection programs. Key factors that led to research uptake included building trust between evaluators and program implementers, understanding stakeholder needs, embedding impact evaluations into broader learning agendas, and strategically disseminating results through workshops, briefs, and conferences. Examples from Ghana, Zambia, and Malawi illustrated how evidence was used to increase cash transfer values, address concerns about dependency, and influence other development partners and policies. While using evidence takes effort and commitment over time, the Transfer Project model identifies important ingredients for research to impact policy and programs.
This presentation was made at the Open Data Camp in Bangalore on 2nd Mar 2013. It explores the question of government data quality by using the rural sanitation scheme as an example.
The Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) provides an assessment of how well local public services are serving communities in three sentences or less:
It evaluates outcomes for local residents by assessing how public services work together to address local priorities, the prospects for improvement, and sustainability, with a focus on the most vulnerable groups. CAA ratings from green to red will indicate levels of improvement and performance. The assessment considers various evidence sources and is a joint effort of inspectorates to provide transparent public reporting on local service delivery.

An Analysis of the Adaptation of Electronic new Government Accounting System ...IJAEMSJORNAL
The Philippine Government, specifically the Commission on Audit, has made efforts to develop an Accounting System called the e-NGAS. It has an objective to improve productivity, transparency and accountability in financial management. However, as a system was introduced for agency adaptation, after a decade many agencies have not yet adopted it and it includes some agencies in the Province of Nueva Ecija. The researcher believes that understanding the factors of not adapting to the said system is the first step for a successful system implementation. Thus, this study seeks to identify, summarize, and better understand the factors that could affect user resistance. Adapted from the Theory of resistance by Klaus and Blanton (2010), factors are classified into four determinants as Organizational, Individual, Technical and Process Factors. However, technical factors are not included in the analysis of this study and are recommended for future studies. A total of thirty Government Accounting Employees from agencies that do not yet adapt to the eNGAS have answered the given structured questionnaire. And as a result, it reveals that Organizational and Process factors significantly affect the users. The factors such as lack of communication, lack of top management support, lack of training, lack of resources, work inconvenience, needed changes in employee's jobs and skills and communication process are among the factors specifically identified by the respondents. Through the information brought about by these studies, the researcher aims that it can help the eNGAS Steering Committee to develop more comprehensive strategies that can address such said factors.
1) The document discusses citizen engagement and the political-bureaucratic divide in government. It covers topics like client satisfaction, citizen-centered approaches, and measuring user satisfaction to improve government services.
2) A key difference between public and private sectors is that government provides public services that are non-excludable and non-rival, making user satisfaction difficult to measure. Citizen-centered approaches aim to empower citizens and ensure accountability.
3) Maintaining the distinct roles of elected political staff and unelected public servants is important to uphold democratic principles. Public servants must give unbiased advice while respecting the ultimate decision-making of politicians.
Working group 3 how should usaid integrate technology into the feed the-futur...Microlinks USAID
The working group discussed how to best integrate technology into USAID's Feed the Future initiative in 3 key areas:
1. Generating evidence on technology adoption strategies through a 3 stage process of eliciting farmer needs, vetting information sources, and developing a feedback system. It's important to target different holding sizes appropriately.
2. Examining the focus on women farmers through a value chain project targeting different genders. Local context is critical for research questions.
3. Identifying and demonstrating profitable technologies by studying relationships between income and nutrition from value chain interventions, and how health messaging can complement economic impacts. Situational factors like intrahousehold dynamics are important to consider in project design.
While this list represents the desirable attributes of indicators most useful for these purposes, it is recognized that few indicators are likely to meet all of these criteria.
Hence, these criteria serve as a benchmark for weighing the potential costs and benefits of selecting one indicator over another.

It also outlines three ways self-supply can be supported: 1) through technical advisory services and guidelines, 2) by strengthening the private sector, and 3) with policies and budgets to aid households in construction and supply improvement. The document promotes a new book on self-supply and filling gaps in public water provision.
Self-supply refers to households taking responsibility for developing their own water sources through various methods like digging wells, collecting rainwater, or protecting springs. This document outlines the key reasons households pursue self-supply due to issues with public water systems like long wait times. It then describes common self-supply methods in Sub-Saharan Africa like family wells and rainwater harvesting. The document emphasizes that self-supply should be supported through technical advice, private sector development, and policies that help households improve their water sources over time.
This short document encourages the reader to take a second to think about how they can help transform billions of lives but provides no other context or details. It is unclear from the text alone what specific actions or causes the reader is being asked to consider to help transform lives at a global scale.
Webinar : Adapting your advocacy to COVID-19 health crisisIRC
The COVID-19 pandemic is forcing development programmes to rapidly readjust their advocacy strategy to support local or national governments in their emergency planning. The Watershed empowering citizens programme organised a webinar attended by over 60 participants on 15 April 2020, to discuss and learn about: ways to adapt advocacy approaches in time of COVID-19; practical examples of shifting activities at national and local levels; ways to reach your target audience while social distancing; ways to adapt your messaging, keeping Watershed priorities through the lens of COVID-19.
This report includes the webinar Powerpoint presentations and some recommendations based on the Q&A session. The titles and authors of the presentations are: "Why is strong advocacy essential during a crisis?" by Evita Rosenberg (IRC); "Watershed Bangladesh : adapting advocacy approaches during COVID 19 outbreak" by Ranjan Kumar Ghose (WaterAid Bangladesh); and "Adapting advocacy approaches in Kenya "by Patrick Mwanzia (Simavi Kenya).
Novel partnership between NWSC and Kabarole District to provide safe water to...IRC
Pius Mugabi of the Kabarole District Local Government, Martin Watsisi and Angela Huston of IRC and Denis Maramuzi, Area Manager of the National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC), Fort Portal, Kabarole worked together on preparing a presentation for the 20th AfWA International Congress and Exhibition in Uganda.
Their presentation focused on a new partnership between NWSC and Kabarole District to extend NWSC’s piped network to provide safe water to communities in the hard-to-reach Kabende sub county. This novel public-public partnership is part of the increasing trend of rural utilisation. NWSC is extending into more small towns and rural growth centres with a broadened mandate and through the SCAP100 Programme will reach 12,000 new villages during 2017-2020.

Watershed Mali : strengthening civil society for sustainable WASH-IWRM in MaliIRC
The political crisis and insecurity existing in Mali since 2012 has had a negative impact on the country’s water and sanitation sector. Normative frameworks are non-existent or unknown, polices and laws are not enforced, water quality is hardly monitored and budget commitments are unclear. The lack of knowledge about the human rights to water and sanitation has led to poor accountability, and civil society organisations (CSOs) lack capacity to advocate and lobby for better services.
Within the above context, the Watershed empowering citizens Mali country programme focuses on two main issues: (1) water quality and waste management and (2) universal access to sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services. So far the programme has been able to enhance the capacities, credibility and audience of water and sanitation CSOs, including the Alliance Citoyenne Pour l’Eau et l’Assainissement (ACEA-Mali). A multi-stakeholder forum has been established and coalitions of CSOs, local government and media have been strengthened, which can mobilise stakeholders, including Parliament.
Because there enough water and faecal sludge disposal is not seen as a problem in rural areas, there is little incentive to integrate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and water resources management (WRM). Watershed is trying to stimulate integration by developing a handbook and guideline in combination with collaboration with CSO networks and donor-funded programmes.
Issues emerging from the Watershed Mali programme include how CSOs can influence decision makers to increase national WASH budget allocations infragile states, how to harmonise the institutional and legal frameworks of the WASH and WRM sectors, how to encourage innovation.

WASH systems strengthening in the Central African RepublicIRC
Water for Good (WFG) works exclusively in the Central African Republic (CAR), a country facing extreme economic fragility. The road blocks set up by the non-state armed groups, which control nearly 80% of the territory, have a significant impact on the country's economy. WFG has been operating in the CAR since 2004, initially as a borehole drilling organisation, and shortly thereafter, as a handpump maintenance service provider. It has created a circuit rider approach for preventative maintenance and uses an electronic reporting system.
After joining Agenda for Change in 2017, WFG opted to adopt IRC's systems approach to go beyond their preventative maintenance programme and work towards universal, sustainable access. WFG opted to pilot a district-wide approach in Mambéré-Kadéi, while maintaining periodic preventative maintenance in other prefectures. In the pilot area, WFG focused on the following system blocking blocks: infrastructure, monitoring, finance, planning and institutions. At the same time it is helping to build up regional capacity for systems strengthening.
In conclusion, WFG believes it is possible to strengthen systems in fragile states, thanks to their organisation's long-term presence in CAR, their ability to plug short-term projects into the larger roadmap, and their ability to work with systems champions. The intention is not to build parallel systems, but to champion a roadmap that is both supported by all WASH stakeholders and adequately funded.

Finding the flow in fragile contexts : IWRM in MaliIRC
What has World Waternet learned by implementing an integrated water resources management (IWRM) approach in Mali? In the Blue Deal Dji Don project, World Waternet supports the Agence Nationale de Gestion des Stations d’Épuration du Mali (ANGESEM) to improve wastewater management. Presentation by Annette Rozendaal-Morón, World Waternet at the WASH Debate "Sustainable WASH service delivery and local WRM in fragile states: how far can you get?", in The Hague, the Netherlands on 20 November 2019.
This presentation by Ambrose Kibuuka is a part of IRC’s in-house “What’s for Lunch series”, It reviews progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for sanitation and hygiene, sector trends focusing on Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) and sanitation marketing, and how rich nations achieved universal access to sanitation. It also briefly looks at WASH linkages with climate change, stunting, nutrition, and gender and social inclusion. The presentation concludes that unsafely managed sanitation, especially in rural areas, remains a challenge in developing countries as a result of population growth, climate change and the lack of funding for on-site sanitation and faecal sludge removal. Systems strengthening (in particular access to financing) and strong public commitment are required to achieve universal access to sanitation by 2030. The presentation includes a list of 21 references.
Social accountability : civil society and the human rights to water and sanit...IRC
The Watershed programme supports civil society organisations (CSOs) both on normative content (and claiming their rights if not yet met) as well as supporting CSOs to engage in the procedural part/principles of human rights to water and sanitation. The social accountability approach used by Watershed is based on the principles of access to information, non-discrimination, accountability and participation. The role of CSOs includes holding government to account for their obligation to ensure that everyone’s human rights are fulfilled, protected and respected. For this Watershed uses the Social Accountability Model developed by Water Witness International. Conclusions and reflection are provided on how this model has been used in Kenya and Bangladesh.

The end of the poldermodel? : the role of dissent in Dutch international wate...IRC
The Dutch NGO Both Ends is involved in two Strategic Partnerships for Dialogue & Dissent funded by the Netherlands government. One of them, the Fair Green & Global (FGG) Alliance, support capacity building of civil society organisations (CSOs) to effectively voice their views and hold policymakers and companies to account. The role of dissent is seen to contribute towards equality, equity and justice. The lessons learned by the FGG Alliance to address the concerns of Indonesian CSOs regarding land reclamations in Jakarta Bay Masterplan will be taken up to support CSO involvement in the Manila Bay Sustainable Development Masterplan in the Philippines. The challenges and opportunities for CSO involvement in Dutch-funded interventions in developing countries are briefly outlined.

Voice for Change Partnership : roles of CSOs in achieving SDG6IRC
The Voice for Change Partnership (V4CP) programme is a capacity development programme for civil society organizations (CSOs) in six countries across four areas including water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). VCP is a partnership between DGIS, SNV, IFPRI (International Food Policy and Research Institute) and CSOs. The capacity development activities focus on evidence creation and dissemination, and evidence-based advocacy. In Kenya, the V4CP WASH component supports CSO advocacy for improved stakeholder participation and coordination, increased budget allocation, and influencing policy review and development. CSOs used evidence from GIS mapping and the water testing to convince county governments to take action to improve sanitation. The data collected was also used to advocate for increased sanitation investment participatory budgeting. The presentation concludes with challenges and lessons learnt from the Kenya the V4CP WASH component.

2. Fundamental importance of more joined up monitoring
(ideally same indicators for different
stakeholders, different levels)
CARE in S. Gondar: woreda to Zonal approach working with
government to standardize data & increase service
However, value of additional monitoring to explore/drill
down on particular ideas. Just as GIS mapping, mobile
apps, are game-changing, so to is exploring different
themes/approaches to monitoring
Shouldn’t focus all our energies on harmonized data

sustainability 2) identify a few key questions
that can predict sustainability?
Community/committee involvement in
scoring so immediate benefit at community
level: discussion + social audit element
Can aggregate data, do statistical analysis on
it, benefits at higher levels + maybe pull out
most important factors

6. 83% of schemes plan for O&M
Funds generated in advance in
57% of cases
32%, indicated that the tariffs
had increased
21 % had made advanced
expenditure on spares, etc
Only 67% are just about
covering costs

7. 7
Questions looking at a whole set of questions probing
participation, inclusion, transparency, accountability
Some of the feedback is very positive. E.g. in terms of
inclusion, 95 % reporting that all community members use
the services equally and equitably
Generally strong areas in terms of initial participation and
inclusion

◦ Initial community engagement vs. ongoing
mechanisms to continue this
◦ Financial accountability in construction vs.
regular financial reporting-back to the
community
◦ Awareness and reactions to changing
income/expenditure of scheme
◦ Bylaws set up - but ones that people know
about, refer to and update over time?

10. Used three indicators of functionality
(service, water, functioning). 15
Finance/Governance questions statistically
significant:
1. The process regarding committee elections
2. Community awareness of committee roles &
responsibilities
3. Existence and functionality of bylaws
4. Training and capacity regarding basic
maintenance
5. Length of time to fix if broken due to a financial
problem

11. 6. Purchase of parts for preventative maintenance
7. The overall financial situation of the scheme
8. How funds needed for O&M are raised
9. Where funds are kept
10. Committee knowledge/practice of record
keeping
11. Presence of at least two people involved in
finances
12. Community knowledge of finances of scheme
13. Existence of audits or external finance checks
14. Plan for break downs & loss of trained staff
15. Forward planning

14. Water+ initiatives often report benefits to women
as a whole, easy to get data affirming this
But women’s experiences are mediated by
age, position in the household, wealth, disability
etc. How do these factors affect how women
experience water+ intervention and how effective it
is?
14
16. Dignity: (86%) Heads of households rather than elderly
relatives, young dependents or other adults in the
household were more likely to report increases in
respect/dignity
Leisure Time: (74%), time for socializing (77%).
Relatively poor women more likely to report
improvements compared to women in the middle
income status
Equality: (80%), Disabled women were more likely to
report greater equality compared to non-disabled
women
16
17. Committees: Married women in particular but also
widows were more likely than single women to take
on these roles. Women with young and old children
were more likely than women with no children
_____________________
But if there are all these differences in how women
engage in/report on services, what does that mean in
terms of equity ?
From an effectiveness point of view are we involving
those who can best serve the schemes?
From an equity or even a transformational agenda are
we ensuring that those could can benefit the most are
involved?
17
18. Further studies - Whose is least likely to be
heard? What’s the impact on the effectiveness of
the service? Looking for more than equitable –
looking for transformative change?
The importance of developing a better an
understanding of the heterogeneity of women’s
experiences both the effectiveness of the service
provided, and its potential for transformative
impact.
18
19. 1. Value of ‘golden’ common indicators
2. But need to keep innovating. E.g.1: the idea
of a few predictive indicators of
sustainability
3. E.g. 2: Refining our understanding of who
benefits and how to promote a better
service and/or be more transformational?
4. Importance of social audit/community voice
approaches given all the attention to
global/national/project levels+ monitoring
that immediately loops back into improved
services
