The purpose of this evaluation was to quantify the impact of the DCIM program on the educational achievement and health status of students in beneficiary schools. As a secondary objective, program output and outcome data were also collected in order to determine the success and sustainability of the program at achieving implementation targets and promoting behavior change.
Few studies have assessed the impacts of school WASH on health and education attainment using rigorous methodology. Of the few existing studies, none have attempted to quantify impacts at the scale of the country-wide DCIM program. A rigorous evaluation of the health and educational impacts of the program will therefore provide a valuable contribution to the global knowledge base of school WASH impacts and contribute to global advocacy efforts for WASH in schools.
