German Red Cross is supporting Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) activities of Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) in camp 13 block G and camp 18 block E. This support includes water supply installation and repair, installation/repair of hand washing stations, repairing bathing spaces and latrine, improving sanitation facilities, providing hygiene kits, hygiene promotion, etc. to improve WASH facilities in those two camps.  

DM WATCH has been assigned to conduct this mid-term evaluation aiming – (i) to review the achievement of project objective, outcome and outputs against plans; (ii) to determine the efficiency, quality and impact of the project; and (iii) to draw lessons learnt from successes and/or challenges. This review will also inform immediate necessary adjustments to operational strategies and programming as the response evolves to better meet the needs of the affected population, as well as to provide a perspective beyond 2022 for continued support to the BDRCS. To conduct this evaluation, household questionnaire survey, key informant interviews (KIIs), focus group discussions (FGDs) and physical observations will be used as data collection tools.  

The survey was carried out using a modern Tablet-based survey instrument in the KoboToolbox. This study has adopted IFRC evaluation framework to evaluate GRC’s project. The framework is designed to promote reliable, useful, ethical evaluations that contribute to organizational learning, accountability, and GRC’s mission to best serve those in need. Using this framework DM WATCH will conduct this evaluation.
