→‎Sustainability assessment tools

A number of organisations are developing or financing tools that are focused on sustainability as part of broader efforts to monitor and evaluate the lasting impacts of programme investments. The Triple-S initiative identified five tools that have been pilot tested and produce an objective and quantifiable output that can be used to trigger improvements to programme design or take remedial actions. <ref>Boulenouar, J., Schweitzer, R. and Lockwood, H., 2013.

AGUASAN - '''Sustainability Assessment Tool (SAT)''': Reviews existing interventions of on-going and completed programmes to support future WASH programme planning. The tool was pilot tested in Kosovo in 2010 and similarly in Haiti, Nepal, and Mali. Time duration: approximately two person-months for the detailed assessment, and one to two person-weeks for the “rough” assessment. Total costs have ranged between US$ 2,000-20,000 and have not exceeded the cost of conventional project evaluations for the organisations involved.

DWA - '''Sustainability Monitoring Framework (SMF)''': Measures the extent to which each NGO contributes to sustainable WASH service delivery in their projects. Highlights the absence of issues which have been proven to result in low sustainability, and the presence of factors that promote sustainability. Pilot tested in Uganda and Ghana by a total of nine organisations, in collaboration with local authorities. The SMF was meant to be integrated in on-going programme monitoring initiatives.
