Informing the water and sanitation sector policy: case study of an impact evaluation study of water supply, sanitation and hygiene interventions in rural … (original) (raw)

This case study examines an impact evaluation of water supply, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions in rural settings, focusing on the efficacy of existing policies and their implementation. It critiques the lack of rigorous evaluations within the WSS sector, highlighting challenges such as the complexity of interventions, decentralized delivery systems, and issues related to control group selection. The paper emphasizes the importance of well-designed evaluations to assess the true impacts of WSS initiatives, linking them to broader development goals.
