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.
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.
