This report provides the results from an impact evaluation of the MCA's Rural Water Point Implementation Program ('RWPIP') in Nampula and an evaluation of the SSSS in Cabo Delgado.
The research was driven by the hypothesis that in larger, more densely settled communities, the SSSS and private operator model better serves water users' needs, is more cost effective, and more sustainable over the long term, as compared to the a handpump with water committee management approach.
The survey includes information on household composition, water sources, health, participation, sanitation, income and expenditures. Data downloads include survey questionnaire and results.
Questionnaires with baseline and follow-up household questionnaires in Portuguese with short English translations. Baseline and follow-up household questionnaires in Portuguese with short English translations with the following modules: household composition, water sources, health, participation, sanitation, income and expenditures. Water committee interviews about perceptions of the project and the handpumps. One-day water point observations in 17 communities with a MCC handpump. Conducted a 2011 baseline study of: • 1,579 households surveys were completed in 54 communities (27 treatment and 27 comparison); • 54 water committee or leader interviews were completed; and • Water sampling was undertaken in 11 communities (from 39 community water sources and 259 household containers). In the 2013 follow-up study: • 1,826 households surveys were completed in 62 communities (32 treatment and 30 comparison); • 31 water committee or leader interviews were completed; • 17 water point observations were undertaken in 17 communities; • Water sampling was undertaken in 11 communities (from 32 community water sources and 873 household containers); and • Water source variability sampling was undertaken in four communities (which consisted of 412 water samples). In the baseline and follow-up studies, an average of 29 household surveys were completed in each community. Around three quarters (73%) of the households interviewed during the baseline study were surveyed again in the follow-up study. If the head of a household was not available after two attempts to contact them or had left the community, a replacement household was randomly selected into the follow-up sample. In the follow-up study, 78% of the households in treatment communities in our sample used a handpump.
