The 2013-2015 Safe Water for Honduran Healthcare Facilities Program evaluated the impact and sustainability of water treatment systems donated by General Electric Foundation to health facilities in 6 healthcare facilities in Ghana.
As the programs research and capacity building partner, CGSW activities included:
- Monitoring and Evaluation of the water treatment system
- Developing the sustainability metric which provides a scoring system to assess and track four main domains of sustainability: technical feasibility, onsite capacity, accountability, and institutional engagement.
- Ensuring Sustainability of the water treatment system through the Safe Water Sustainability Metric Tool
- Needs assessment of the WASH attitudes, knowledge and practice of healthcare staff
- Training of healthcare staff on prioritizing WASH in healthcare facilities
- Galvanizing evidence for action in WASH in Healthcare Facilities through stakeholder engagement
- Identifying and documenting the most important elements necessary for the sustained provision of safe water in HCF. This work informed the WASHCon Tool.
