Title
RiPPLE - Improving Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
information for better
service delivery in Ethiopia
Abstract
Key decisions in policy-making, planning, budgeting, reporting, and evaluation in water, sanitation and
hygiene (WaSH) are all reliant on information about access and the quality of service delivery.
Accurate data on WASH services within woredas (the equivalent of districts in Ethiopia) are vital for
making effective new investments and maintaining existing infrastructure. Decision-making after all
can only be as good as the underlying information.
It is widely recognised that current WASH information is not adequate, and there are serious efforts
at national and regional (for example in SNNPR) level to improve sector information systems. To
support these efforts to improve the use of woreda inventory and information management systems,
RiPPLE undertook a scoping study to assess the status of the many current initiatives and to
understand and start to share an analysis of the key issues. Recommendations are made for
improving WASH data management, putting data to use, and coordinating and sharing best practice.
The study is intended to inform follow up research and learning activities.
