| description |
evaluation that aims to measure the
causal impact of a large-scale rural water supply and
services program (PROSASR) in Nicaragua. The overall
objective of the evaluation is to assess the causal impact
of the provision of technical assistance packages on
improvements in the functionality and durability of water
systems in rural Nicaraguan communities. Prior to the
implementation of the intervention, baseline data were
gathered to assess the current levels of functionality and
durability of water supply and sanitation (WSS) services,
organizational structure and preparedness of WSS system
providers, and rural communities and households served by
rural water systems. Baseline results suggest that
randomized program assignment at the community level
resulted in balanced characteristics between treatment and
control groups. In a secondary exploratory analysis,
community, household, and system indicators were used to
identify key determinants of the sustainability of rural
water systems. These results will help determine the roadmap
for constructing a consistent follow-up survey (2018) to
conclude the evaluation and obtain practical policy and
program recommendations to improve the program's effectiveness. |
