The Women + Water Alliance is a global development alliance (GDA) between USAID and Gap Inc. and its partners, CARE, Water.org, WaterAid, the Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC), International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) and the Institute for Development Impact. This infographic developed by I4DI outlines the key outcomes of the activities of the Women + Water alliance in relation to women’s agency and self efficacy. Women’s empowerment improved among direct P.A.C.E. participants but not among the broader community and women’s engagement in community water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) planning in the intensive WaterAid communities resulted in meaningful improvements to WASH management.

This infographic developed by I4DI outlines the key outcomes of the activities of the Women + Water alliance in relation to the Water Burden in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. Overall, the burden of water fetching decreased, and responsibilities shifted in many households. Reduced time for water collection also had positive impact on households including increased time for income generation.

This infographic developed by I4DI outlines the key outcomes of the activities of the Women + Water alliance in relation to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices in Maharashtra and Mahdhya Pradesh. Overall, WASH-related practice did not change consistently across time and place and remains an area for continued improvement.

This infographic developed by I4DI outlines the key outcomes of the activities of the Women + Water alliance in relation to water access in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. Improvements were observed in drinking water access, in targeted communities in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, with increase in access to improved water source, water source location in yard, and water satisfaction.

Jointly, the alliance delivered converging activities related to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in seven districts in the Indian states of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. This infographic developed by I4DI outlines the key convergence activities of all partners throughout the six years of program implementation.

I4DI conducted an evaluation of the UNICEF Country Programme 2016-2020 in Serbia as a formative evaluation that critically assessed the strategies applied in the current Country Programme (CP) against the standard evaluation criteria adopted by the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD): relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability, and impact. The evaluation’s primary purpose was to inform the design and provide recommendations for the development of the new Country Programme Document (CPD) 2021–2025 between UNICEF and the Government of the Republic of Serbia.
The evaluation also assessed the extent to which the CP design and the implementation have been fit-for-purpose, and whether equity, gender equality, and human rights-based approaches have been incorporated throughout. Furthermore, this evaluation assessed significant and promising interventions implemented throughout the current program cycle.
The Balanced Design, Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning (BalanceD-MERL) consortium under the U.S. Global Development Lab’s Monitoring, Evaluation, Research, and Learning Innovations (MERLIN) program at USAID was testing how balanced integration across all aspects of D-MERL enables teams to rapidly learn and incorporate findings into program design. In May 2016, USAID’s Global Health Ebola Team (GHET) approached the BalanceD-MERL consortium (of which I4DI is a member) to request support with its monitoring, evaluation, and learning needs. As part of this engagement, the BalanceD-MERL consortium conducted: (1) a deep dive assessment of program and partner D-MERL and a high level review of GHET Strategy, MERL frameworks and performance monitoring systems to inform recommendations to improve the effectiveness of GHET’s monitoring and utilization of data for program decision making; (2) an endline performance evaluation of the GHET survivor-specific program; and (3) a data quality verification of 55 indicators against standard data quality criteria. The consortium also conducted an endline performance evaluation for the GHET within the USAID Global Health Bureau.
As the pandemic draws on and the numbers grow, many people are feeling fatigue from COVID-19 statistics. Often, the magnitude or severity of the case count in a particular region is difficult to grasp without proper context. In looking to make these overwhelming numbers more digestible, in July 2020, I4DI launched a series of weekly posts which aim to bring updated, real-time data and trends to the public in a way that is easy to understand.
Each week since then, we looked at the data with a new lens, offering unique visualizations that present the COVID-19 situation in a simple, but insightful snapshot.
