Developing and implementing your WASH peacebuilding M&E Plan – How to measure

Purpose

Once a sound WASH for Peace ToC and Results Framework has been developed, the next step is to identify relevant indicators as well as supporting means of verification and data-collection methodologies – namely HOW to measure the changes captured in the results framework.

Figure illustrates this step using a simple WASH for peace ToC. It considers how inclusive community-level WASH programming can help generate social cohesion to address a key finding of a conflict analysis, namely that ‘mutual distrust and fear between two communities negatively affects access to a shared water resource and leads to violent conflict’. The figure shows Outcome and Output level results and supporting indicators and means of verification (MoVs).
