Mid-Term Evaluation of the Kenya Integrated Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (KIWASH) Project

This evaluation’s primary purposes were to: 1) assess the appropriateness of the KIWASH design, 2) assess progress of implementation to date2, and 3) inform future USAID/KEA WASH and nutrition programming. The evaluation team reviewed KIWASH contractual deliverables and other related documents, and conducted Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), Focus Group discussions (FGDs) and site observations. Following consultations with USAID and the implementing partner (IP), the evaluation team selected five counties to visit for data collection: Kakamega, Kisumu, and Nyamira counties in the Lake Victoria Region and Kitui and Nairobi counties in the Tana/Athi Region. The evaluation team conducted 95 KIIs, 75 percent of which were with stakeholders in the five counties visited during the review. A total of 25 percent of the interviewees were women.
