Evaluation of education and training in water and sanitation technology: case studies in Nepal and Peru
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:10 authored by Tommy K. Ngai, Brittany Coff, E. Manzano, K. Seel, P. ElsonA significant constraint to effective and sustainable water and sanitation provision is the “lack of
capacity at the local level” (WHO, 2010), however there is uncertainty in how the efforts of capacity
builders should be measured, and improved (Brown, et al., 2001). The Centre for Affordable Water and
Sanitation Technology (CAWST) and the Institute of Non-profit Studies at Mount Royal University
(MRU) has collaborated to address this issue. An evaluative framework, based on the Kirkpatrick model
(Kirkpatrick, D.L. & Kirkpatrick, J.D., 2006) was developed to assist capacity builders in the water and
sanitation sector to capture and interpret the results of their education and training activities. The
framework was applied to evaluate CAWST’s training activities in Peru and Nepal. The findings provide
new perspectives on the impacts of CAWST’s work, and provide insight into how the framework can be
valuable to other capacity building organizations.
