Project: Water and sanitation for all: for a strong and heard civil society in West Africa
Evaluation Date: April 2016
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

Minor adjustments to project design can reinforce effectiveness – including for example the use of social networks to share information, as well as work with community radios. The project’s effectiveness varied notably between countries, as a result of both external and internal factors, such as governments’ degree of openness to dialogue with NGOs on WASH issues and the management skills of platform leaders.

Lesson Learned:

Several platform representatives noted that the UNDEF project led to enhancing their professional skills across the region. The capacity building also helped enhance platforms’ resilience and technical capacity and also their capacity to attract the attention of other development actors, including future donors. Enhanced technical capabilities generate research and strategy development capacity, which should be directed towards the elaboration of future projects in order to reinforce sustainability and credibility vis-à-vis government authorities and potential donors.

Lesson Learned:

Project achievements were positive; especially in view of the vast geographical area covered by the project and the fact that the budgets devolved to each country were relatively limited Some of the implementing partners took innovative approaches as they knew their efforts could not be compensated financially.
