Post Floods 2010, UNICEF with other development partners developed and implemented a large-scale sanitation recovery initiative. The initiative is known as Early Recovery Scaling-up of Rural Sanitation in Flood Affected Districts (RuSFAD). It was jointly developed by UNICEF, UN HABITAT and Plan Pakistan (PP). The field implementation was undertaken by leading national non-profit organizations across Pakistan. With some overlapping, the project was implemented in three phases during 2010-12. The third phase was planned during late 2011; however, its implementation started in early 2012. The first two phases covered 23 flood-affected districts (four during the pilot phase and 19 during the second phase); whereas, the third phase was implemented in 17 districts. WaterAid Pakistan (WAP) joined later as ‘Independent Monitor’ and remained partly involved in Phase-II and fully during Phase III. This evaluation is for RuSFAD phase III only.
The remains a multi-purpose evaluation with articulated focus on accountability and learning. The evaluation commissioned to meet the contractual obligation towards donors and internally to address UNICEF’s programme management requirements. It applies to a varying degree to the other stakeholders involved in programme design and delivery. The evaluation findings and recommendations are to inform the future programme design in Pakistan. Moreover, as UNICEF globally is rolling-out Community Approaches to Total Sanitation (CATS), hence the results would enrich the organization wide discourse on CATS design & implementation. Last yet not least, the evaluation is to inform th public stakeholders of PATS related design and implementation challenges and opportunities to facilitate public sector ownership, replication and scale-up of PATS across Pakistan.
