| Abstract | UNICEF's global evaluation of sanitation programs aims to analyze the experience of designing and implementing sanitation interventions in developing countries to ascertain lessons for improving the effectiveness of future investments. This report is the first phase of this evaluation. It consists of a review and analysis of sanitation programme strategies of various implementing agencies, a summary of lessons learned, and provisional programme guidelines for discussion among planners and managers. The six topics under which data were collected and the findings are presented are service delivery, the role of sanitation consumers, influencing behaviour, capacity building, economics and financing, and intra and intersectoral links. The report suggest that a successful sanitation programme should: i. improve the health of beneficiary groups; ii. be financially, organizationally, and politically sustainable; iii. maximize the benefits of investments by reaching the greatest number of people; iv. enhance local institutional and community capacity for organization and management; and v. protect the environment. |
