In order to develop effective mechanisms to encourage and sustain correct use of household water treatment and safe storage (HWTS), there is a need to monitor and evaluate uptake. To date, there has been a lack of harmonized relevant tools and indicators to assist in the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of HWTS programmes.
This document is intended to address this need.The Toolkit provides an overall framework for planning, conducting, and utilizing monitoring and evaluation data to improve programme outcomes.
One of the key features of the Toolkit is the presentation, for the first time, of 20 harmonized, global indicators to assess correct and consistent use of household water treatment and safe storage by those most at risk. These indicators build upon previous efforts among HWTS stakeholders and are grouped according to the following themes:
- reported and observed use;
- correct, consistent use and storage;
- knowledge and behaviour;
- other environmental health interventions; and
- water quality
