Explore Monitoring and Evaluation

In this collection you will find online learning activities and job aids that will help you to incorporate behaviour change into WASH program design.

This collection contains the resources for both trainers and participants for the Biosand Filter Project Implementation workshop. This workshop is designed for biosand filter project managers and technicians. This workshop includes information and hands-on experience on the construction, use and monitoring of the biosand filter. The hands-on topics include checking the steel mold, making the concrete filter container, preparing filtration sand, installing filters and conducting follow-up visits. The participant will gain a clear understanding of the rationale behind the filter design and why proper preparation of the filtration sand is so important.

Discover how other people run their HWTS projects, what works and what they would change if they could by checking out the following case studies and resources.

These workshop materials contain the resources for the Community WASH Promotion workshop. The role of the Community WASH Promoter is essential for the successful implementation of any household water treatment, sanitation, or hygiene (WASH) project. Through this workshop, participants will gain a clear understanding of the best practices for supporting community members in changing their behaviours of WASH practices with the aim of achieving improved community livelihoods.

This collection contains the resources for both trainers and participants for the Monitoring for Biosand Filter Projects. This five day workshop is primarily designed for biosand filter technicians, community health promoters and project managers. The workshop provides background on how and why this service was developed, tips to help you plan for a successful consultation, and several tools to help deliver your training, such as monitoring forms, checklists, lesson plans and case studies.

These videos will introduce you to a few rapid assessment tools that you can use when seeking to create a context-specific behaviour change intervention.

This video interview explores why to use Drinking Water Quality Testing (DWQT) when implementing a Biosand Filter (BSF) project. The interview with experienced BSF implementers includes Lalit Sharma of Sehgal Foundation (India), Elijah Mutafya of Seeds of Hope International Partnership (Zambia) and Suneel Rajavaram of CAWST (Canada) sharing their experiences using DWQT in support of their BSF projects.

This session will look at how governments, civil society organizations, donors, and other stakeholders can maximize the impact of water point mapping. From planning water point mapping activities, to sharing the data, to analyzing the information and taking action, this session will look at best practices, opportunities, and future trends. Participants will get to learn about the state of the art in increasing the value of water point data through a presentation by the Water Point Data Exchange, and then have an opportunity to participate in a virtual discussion on next steps.

In this lesson, participants will discuss the importance of using forms to collect information from household members to influence change. They will also review how to use monitoring forms effectively.

CAWST uses the Kirkpatrick framework in workshop design. Based on this, we created a Theory of Change for the Community WASH Promotion workshop as well as tools to evaluate the workshop’s effectiveness. This document presents tools to evaluate the effectiveness of your training workshop. It includes questionnaires and observation sheets.
