A multi-year arc spanning two phases of evaluation work, public publications in 2026 and 2027, and a peer-reviewed wave through 2028.
Systematic review of 16 completed WPAs across 9 countries. Drawing on existing evaluation reports, raw datasets, monitoring data, financial records, and ~350 Most Significant Change stories.
Public release of the Phase 1 systematic review, accompanied by a lay-friendly summary brief for donors, sector practitioners, and partner organizations.
Primary data collection in six selected countries, including household and institutional surveys, water-point assessments, focus groups, key informant interviews, and matched comparison communities.
Comprehensive impact evaluation findings, with cleaned datasets, codebooks, and an external summary brief and presentation deck for partners and donors.
As we go, and based on our final results, we plan to share the results of the study widely through conference presentations and peer-reviewed journal submissions.
