Monitoring is a vital tool for program sustainability and improvement. Water For People and our local government partners collect data on a wide range of variables – from service levels and sustainability, to sanitation uptake and customer satisfaction. Our current monitoring, evaluation, and learning activities go well beyond simply ensuring that water is flowing and systems are functional. We also assess the capacity of the institutions responsible for providing services. Additionally, Water For People holds annual Reflection Sessions in every country where we work, with participation from our staff and partners. These sessions celebrate successes, identify barriers, and adjust our approaches to achieving water and sanitation for Everyone Forever. Both our annual monitoring and Reflection Sessions have the added value of building capacity among our local partners, helping districts prepare to take over monitoring and ensure that water flows Forever.
