Monitor the relevancy of programming modalities and impact
Several types of implementation modalities can be chosen for the WASH response: direct implementation, implementation through support to the local government or local partners, conditional or even unconditional cash transfer. Other strategic choices were made during the response design, such as choice of latrine design or behavior change strategy. These chosen modalities are described in the WASH operational response plan as well as the SOF. The WASH coordination platform must monitor during and after the implementation the relevancy of the modalities chosen, to be able to re-orientate the strategy if needed.
To be able to evaluate the relevancy of the modality, indicators that will be used for the evaluation must first be selected. They cab be based on the quality assurance framework elements (strategic indicators, coverage, accountability and protection, technical quality), complemented with other more general response indicators, as follows:
- Value for money
- Timeliness
- Institutional capacity strengthening
- Do no harm (WASH market monitoring indicators)
- Impact of the response (see the Response impact evaluation chapter)
