Multi-country Evaluation of the Key Result for Children (KRC) #8: Ending Open Defecation (including during the COVID-19 pandemic) in Chad, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Togo
Overview
BACKGROUND
This multi-country evaluation will review the implementation of initiatives to end open defecation (OD) as part of the Key Results for Children (KRC) in UNICEF’s West and Central Africa Region and fulfilling the human right to sanitation. To date 116 million people continue to practice OD in WCAR (WHO/UNICEF JMP 2019), and only four countries are on track to eliminate OD by 2030, in line with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.2:
Acceleration is needed to end OD in the region, and to achieve the KRC#8 outcome of reducing the number of people practicing OD to 88 million by 2021. This evaluation will provide various stakeholders with information on how to improve programming to achieve the objective of KRC#8. The evaluation will also review programming approaches and provide the elements to contribute to the theory of change for ending OD equitably and sustainably in WCAR.
PURPOSE
This multi-country evaluation will have two purposes: accountability and learning.
This evaluation will provide both the donor (vertical accountability) and the expected beneficiaries – such as boys, girls, caregivers and other adults within the communities which UNICEF is expected to serve- (horizontal accountability) with solid evidence on the extent to which the programmes/interventions in each one of the concerned countries attained their envisaged objectives.
With respect to learning, this evaluation is expected not only to inform the programme implementation strategies in the years to come but it will also shed some light on some potential corrective actions that may want to be explored further in the future and can contribute to improving the programme theory of change.
