Summary

In Study Session 13, you have learned that:

• Procurement of a wide range of goods, services and works is an important part of WASH programme management.
• Procurement processes can be complex and require appropriately trained staff. Guidelines, manuals and standard procedures are available to support people responsible for procurement.
• Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is a critical component of all projects and programmes.
• M&E is intended to track progress, measure impact, increase accountability, inform decision making, encourage investment and build capacity.
• All levels of the OWNP organisational structure have some responsibility for M&E.
• Data on many aspects of WASH access and behaviour is collected as part of the M&E process.
• The National WASH Inventory and WASH MIS are data collection and management systems to provide comprehensive data on WASH in Ethiopia and are designed make the data accessible to stakeholders.
• The OWNP results framework sets out the targets for the programme. KPI data is compared with the framework to assess progress towards meeting the targets.
