Water network monitoring is a critical complement to household surveys. MCC should have been looking at water supply increases to the system on a consistent basis to better understand how the water was getting to the beneficiaries, if at all, rather than relying solely on household surveys. If MCC had understood MORUWASA’s water rationing changes ahead of launching a household survey, we would have been able to better allocate evaluation resources. MCC is addressing this lesson by placing a greater emphasis on monitoring in throughout the compact lifecycle.
