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.
