WASH in Schools Monitoring Package
Updated - Thursday 11 August 2011
This package is designed to help address the WASH in Schools monitoring deficit at the national level. It is designed as a resource for WASH and Education professionals and practitioners to strengthen national monitoring systems and to improve the quality of monitoring at the project level.
The package consists of three modules which are designed to gather key data on all components of WASH in Schools programming, including water, sanitation and handwashing facilities; hygiene knowledge and practices; waste disposal; and operation and maintenance systems. The modules focus on data collection in schools, with supplemental tools for gathering complimentary information from communities (within the children’s module) and from government officials responsible for WASH in schools (within the survey module).
The modules are generic – they are designed to be modified at the country level with respect to national norms and standards. Notes for survey designers are incorporated into the modules to facilitate this process.
