  • Measuring Impact and Sustainability
    Rania Alerksoussi/IFRC MEASURING IMPACT AND SUSTAINABILITY Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies deliver developmental water, sanitation and hygiene promotion (WASH) projects under the framework of its Global Water and Sanitation Initiative (GWSI). Access to WASH facilities is a human right. Our WASH efforts contribute to broader goals of reducing mortality and morbidity and strengthening community resilience while upholding dignity of the people reached. We are accountable to our target population and other stakeholders to justify the investment made in our WASH projects and demonstrate sustainable impact. However, demonstrating impact and sustainability requires revisiting communities at least several years after project completion. For WASH projects, IFRC is using a rapid mobile phone-based (RAMP) system and look back study, a set of tools and guidance, as a means to collect key data to measure sustainable impact. www.ifrc.org Saving lives, changing minds. International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Measuring impact and sustainability The use of mobile phone technology and online platforms has over RAPID MOBILE recent years become increasingly applicable to both humanitarian and developmental efforts. The proven benefits and indeed potential broadened PHONE-BASED scope and use of these technologies is fast evolving and becoming standard practice, even in the most difficult contexts. SYSTEM International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies' RAMP system is being adapted and field tested to serve the full project cycle for GWSI projects. The RAMP system enables its users to have access to data in real-time (as soon as it is uploaded to the cloud), and provides quick analysis, visualization, and mapping.
