Report of the endline evaluation of Women-Led Output-Based Aid (WOBA) Vietnam

The purpose of the Endline Evaluation is to assess the WOBA project using the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) evaluation criteria including Relevance – Effectiveness – Efficiency – Impact - Sustainability. The theory of change defined for WOBA Vietnam has been used to define evaluation priority areas of inquiry which in turn links to the key evaluation questions. The priority areas of this Endline Evaluation are: 1. WASH services implemented using OBA focusing on the water component 2. Gender equality and social inclusion approach and outcomes 3. Fecal sludge management pilot 4. Climate resilient water safety plan pilot

Impacts of WOBA Cambodia for Marginalised Households in Rural Cambodia: Lessons learnt from the Mid-Term Evaluation

This learning note is based on the findings from the MTR, focusing on the impacts (intended and unintended) of WOBA for marginalised households in rural Cambodia. The intended impact is the villagers’ awareness about the importance of improved sanitation for their health and the health of the community. Subsidies for latrines and water connections can be a nudge to get the family to decide, but understanding the value of building latrine for their own and others’ health is the decision trigger.

WOBA Viet Nam partnership structure. Lessons learned from the Mid-term Review

The partnership structure of WOBA follows the government political structure to execute implementation therefore the PC has the power and decision making in all aspects of the project implementation. Based on this structure, the function of each organization in the partnership, and the role of each person in the partner organization has been already established prior to WOBA. The stability of the partnership structure and its members’ role in the implementation contribute to the achieving WASH targets in an effective way. A possible deviation is the WU with staff turnover resulting in some missed connection in the networks and missing important knowledge about WOBA. In this regard, ongoing training at the WU level especially at the village level is important.

WOBA Cambodia Partnership Structure: Lessons learnt from the Mid-Term Evaluation

Although there are differences between provinces in terms of the partnership structure and line of authority in charge of WOBA’s implementation activities, there is a common link between the national and subnational levels. The overall WOBA partnership structure provides partners with the role and position within a hierarchical governance structure that they are familiar with. In addition, because WOBA offers the same types of latrines across all provinces, leveraging the existing government structure works well in terms of legitimacy and sharing information down the chains of authority.
