| Summary: | The study is conducted in two states
with different geographic, public health, and socioeconomic
characteristics, together spanning a range of conditions in
rural India: Maharashtra and Orissa. The secondary
objectives of the study were to develop proxy indicators for
routine monitoring of the health impact of water and
sanitation projects. A proxy is an easy-to-measure indicator
for a hard to- measure impact. Here the goal is to identify
the intermediate outcomes (for example coverage of toilets
and taps) that are causally linked to the policy or
intervention and to the outcome. The success of the analysis
in establishing such links will determine the salience of
the proxy indicators. Finally, World Bank also evaluate the
broader impacts of water, sanitation, and hygiene
interventions on rural livelihoods, such as savings in time,
materials, and money invested in coping activities;
improvements in convenience and privacy; and indirect
benefits to caregivers (for example gains in work
efficiency, and time and work reallocation within the household). |
