Dispensers for Safe Water delivers social returns for less than $1/person/year* • Reduces diarrhea cases by 40% - one of the largest contributors to childhood death • $61 saves a year of quality life* • Avoid the irreversible effects of stunted growth in children *Less than $1 / person in 2015, and expected to be less than $0. 50 / person / year by 201. 1. 04 DALYs averted per dispenser per year, and the 10 -year NPV of the program translate to $61/DALY/yr. DALY = Disability Adjusted Life Year, or the number of life years lost due to ill health, disability, or early death. BOS 20131216 -WIP Power. Point template 6

Sustainable Development Co- Benefits • Dispensers for Safe Water as a program offers sustainable co-benefits in the Health Sector. • • Our key indicators are : i) Adoption rates ii) Diarrheal infection rates iii) Water quality 12 BOS 20131216 -WIP Power. Point template

Sustainable Development Co- Benefits • Adoption We have an ongoing adoption survey based on the presence of total chlorine in household water. This survey is carried out on a randomized population sample every month. The rates of adoption are made available internally to every staff member through a web based internal information management system. These rates are also reported to partners quarterly , or biannually. 13 BOS 20131216 -WIP Power. Point template

Sustainable Development Co- Benefits • Diarrheal Rates Compiled from Self reported data from the adoption monitoring surveys as well. Our spot checks also give us a regular update of the numbers using the community dispensers and any updates on population numbers. We keep monthly records of diarrheal rates in the areas where we work. 14 BOS 20131216 -WIP Power. Point template

Sustainable development Co-benefits • Diarrheal rates 15 BOS 20131216 -WIP Power. Point template

Sustainable Development Co-benefits • Water Quality Quarterly water quality tests are carried out on water in 10% of households at the point of use of water. IDEXX tests are done in our internal lab to determine if there any infections with E-coli found in water being consumed by the dispenser users. This is the indicator of success in achieving our basic target which is to provide safe water. Any indicator for E-coli here is a pointer of environmental contamination and always results in a community education meeting. 16 BOS 20131216 -WIP Power. Point template

Sustainable Development Co- Benefits • Quality Control - A department in Evidence Action dedicated to designing of surveys, data collection, analysis and presentation. - Staff are re-trained before every survey season - Backchecks are carried out on the quality of data collected - Community meetings are held where feedback on project delivery is discussed - Monthly reports are provided which serve as the basis for an internal review. - Data on ongoing processes, performance, issues tracked and feedback are available to staff internally and these are regularly updated. 17 BOS 20131216 -WIP Power.
