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
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:
“By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all, and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations.”
Further, COVID-19 has triggered unprecedented crisis that exacerbates WASH vulnerabilities of children in WCAR, Although COVID-19 has disrupted WASH service provision and sustainability, increased attention on the importance of WASH during the pandemic provides opportunities to reach more children sustainably and equitably with resilient WASH services and strengthened WASH systems in the region.
This evaluation provides an opportunity to evaluate both ongoing initiatives for KRC#8, and the effectiveness of adapted program approaches to eliminate OD during the COVID pandemic, with the view of informing future investments for accelerated progress towards KRC#8. Elements related to evaluating the Covid19 response will cut across all countries participating in this evaluation as they are all affected by the pandemic.
Five countries will partake in this evaluation, including Chad, Guinea Bissau, Guinea,Burkina Faso and Togo.
The Objectives are:
To determine the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of the sanitation programme and Covid 19 adaptations to the programme in supporting Government to reach vulnerable women and children to access and use quality sanitation services and end open defecation, including gender-separated toilets addressing specific needs of boys and girls in schools (see TOR attached)
