Abstract:

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 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.

Description:

Women + Water (W+W) is a six year (2017-2023) Global Development Alliance between USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) and Gap Inc. that is committed to improving and sustaining the health and well-being of women and communities touched by the apparel industry in India. The alliance brought together CARE, WaterAid, Water.org, and the Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC) to deliver converging activities related to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). I4DI, as the alliance’s learning partner, conducted an endline evaluation of the program in mid-2022 to determine the extent to which the W+W Alliance contributed to improved well-being in target communities.

It also highlights state-wise disparities, with Connecticut showing the smallest gap and Utah the largest.
