Endline Evaluation of the 'Accountability for Water (AfW)' Programme in Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia

Purpose of the Evaluation and Objectives.

The purpose of the end line evaluation was to assess the effectiveness, relevance, and sustainability of the Accountability for Water Program. The evaluation sought to provide feedback on the achievements, challenges, and lessons learned from the Accountability for water phase I programme, and make recommendations for future interventions

The purpose of the evaluation was threefold:

To identify the strengths and weaknesses of the Accountability for Water programmatic approach and draw practical implications for future programme work, producing a qualitative evaluation report.
To evaluate the extent to which the Accountability for Water Programme structure and activities successfully implemented de-colonial governance and implementation, producing a qualitative governance report and recommendations for phase II.
To produce guidance and programme documentation for phase II of the programme; specifically:

1. A ‘way of working’ partnership guidance formulation to ensure that findings from evaluation are implemented
2. Recommendations of ‘most valued’ elements from phase I and how to incorporate them in phase II, and recommendations of elements that should be reconsidered.
3. A monitoring, evaluation and learning outline plan for phase II, including data collection and responsibilities, in collaboration with consortium partners.

Scope of Work undertaken
The scope of work entailed the following: gathering statistics for key indicators as per the log frame through collection of primary and secondary data; draft a MEAL plan for phase II; review and provide strategic input on the AfW phase II documents as guided by the AfW programme evaluation team. Geographically, the study targeted programme stakeholders and the project implementation partners in the three priority target countries of Kenya, Tanzania, and Ethiopia.
