The Plurinational State of Bolivia, with financing from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Spanish Cooperation Fund for Water and Sanitation in Latin America and the Caribbean, carries out the Peri-Urban Water and Sewerage Program, Phase I. The Program whose general objective is to improve access to basic services of drinking water and sanitation in a sustainable way, it is basically structured in two components: 1) Investments in infrastructure for drinking water and basic sanitation, and 2) Community Development.
According to the evaluation of the program, and practically 1 year after the provisional reception of the executed projects, it was planned to carry out a first evaluation of the progress and impacts of the program. In this sense, the CEGIE-UPB was asked to collect monitoring information on households to assess the impact of the Drinking Water and Sanitation Program for Small Towns and Rural Communities in Bolivia.
The impact will be measured through indicators of: 1) possession and use of water and basic sanitation services, 2) hygiene practices in the homes, and 3) indicators of time use in adults, including impacts on productive activities and income generation.
The scope of work includes the following main activities:
The fieldwork will be prepared, including final adaptation of field instruments, development of data capture programs, training, planning and field logistics, among others.
