Title
WaterAid Madagascar - Valuating Economic and Social Impacts of
Improved Water and Sanitation Services
Abstract
The following report presents the findings from the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA)’s 2008 EPD WaterAid Madagascar Workshop team. The team designed an analysis model, sensitive to local conditions, to further support WaterAid Madagascar’s recent efforts to develop a comprehensive evaluation system of the impacts of their water and sanitation projects. Safe access to water supplies and improved sanitation are a platform for sustainable growth, providing central pillars for achieving both short-term and long-term development in these communities. After the initial assessment, which isolated specific indicators, the team built a comprehensive methodology with the goal of measuring the wide range of community and individual socio-economic impacts. The preliminary findings and recommendations in this report are intended to serve as a launching point for a wider inquiry into the interconnections between water, sanitation, and the crucial poverty reduction indicators. This report serves as a foundation for WaterAid Madagascar to build future studies and suggests potential areas for more rigorous data collection.
