Evaluation of WASH in Schools
Overview
The purpose of the evaluation is to evaluate the implementation of the hardware component (quality of construction, design appropriateness, cost effectiveness and sustainability of the WASH facilities at schools, etc.) and the software component (hygiene education including MHM, O&M arrangements, etc.). The four sets of Evaluation Questions are: Relevance (the extent to which the programme is suited to the needs of the target population and aligned with WASH strategies and national priorities); Effectiveness (the extent to which programme interventions attained intended results); Efficiency (Qualitative and quantitative measures of programme outputs relative to inputs); Sustainability (the extent to which interventions are likely to continue without direct UNICEF support). Impact was not part of the TORs.
The final sample surveyed is 106 schools, comprising 75 WinS and 31 comparison schools.
A mixed methods approach was used, collecting both qualitative and quantitative information, through a desk review; semi-structured interviews of the staff of MoE and UNICEF Afghanistan; Key Person Interviews with province-level and district-level officials from MoE and MRRD, and school Principals; and Focus Group Discussions with teachers, SMC/shura, school girls & boys, and differently-abled students. The Quantified Participatory Assessment (QPA) was the method used to collect and analyze the qualitative and quantitative information from the field. A QPA uses standard PRA tools but transforms qualitative information into numbers using different methods including ordinal scoring.
The Evaluation followed the Norms and Standards as well as Ethical Guidelines for Evaluations of the UNEG. Checks to ensure the quality of information collected included intensive training, field supervision, telephone checks to school principals, consistency checks in the custom-built database and internal reviews of all reports by UNICEF.
