Abstract
The goal of the Integrated Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Program (iWASH) was to support sustainable, market-driven water supply, sanitation, and hygiene services to improve health and increase economic resiliency of the poor within an integrated water resource management framework. Performance was reported measured against five intermediate results: (1) objectives in increased water supply have been achieved in seventy villages benefiting 118,300 people with new or improved access to water; this is 113% of the target; (2) increased access to sanitation and hygiene has been achieved in forty villages benefiting 26,000 people, 107% of target, and 163,800 people in increased hygiene awareness, 123% of target; (3) increased private sector capacity to deliver water and sanitation services has been accomplished, and the project is clearly having impact beyond the project area; and (5) improved management of watersheds has been accomplished through a wealth of innovative activities, important and high-quality research, and engaged project participation in national and basin-level forums.
