| Abstract | The MWA has been implementing water, sanitation, and hygiene programmes in Ethiopia since 2004 and will have invested nearly $20 million in the sector by mid- 2014. By 2015, MWA and the 11 MWA members and numerous local partners involved in the MWA-EP will have reached more than one million rural Ethiopians with access to integrated water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services. To achieve this kind of collective impact, all participants must have a shared vision for change and a shared measurement system. In 2010, all MWA-EP partners agreed to common definitions, policies and strategies. This paper discusses the process required to reach consensus on a shared measurement system among multiple, diverse partners, the data collection tools and collection methodology, challenges and lessons learned in implementation. |
