Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
INTERSOS
October – December 2021

Datametrics led the endline evaluation of the Improving Access to WASH, Healthcare, Protection/Gender Based Violence and Livelihood Programs in Bama LGA, Borno State Nigeria. The endline evaluation was based on performance assessment using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. A total of 402 quantitative interviews and 24 qualitative interviews were conducted.
The project made significant achievements in improving access to WASH. Overall, about 74% of respondents collected at least 20 liters of water daily while 90% of respondents used the toilet/latrine in the last defecation. All the respondents dispose of solid wastes
through evacuation, collection, recycling, or incineration. About 91% and 90% of respondents reported satisfaction with both the quality and quantity of WASH Non-Food Items (NFI) which is 7% and 6% higher than target. Also, 82% of respondents identified at least three out of the five critical times to wash hands properly. Of the respondents from the IDP camp with designated hand washing areas, 63% had soap and water available and sighted during the endline data collection.
