The Impact of This Network Approach

5 stages of improvement

  • Better projects delivered to communities, at a lower total cost, considering the reduction in overhead and administration costs for participating Funders and NGOs and the improvements made to project plans as part of the peer review process.
  • An invaluable learning forum for NGOs and Funders to share information and ideas and improve their work. Our success is based on the strength and experience of our members, and their willingness to participate to improve all safe drinking water efforts, not just theirs. We are not aware of any other participatory mechanism that allows the experts in the field to help each other improve their outcomes. Our network is valuable to all groups interested in the water sector.
  • A unique and growing clearinghouse of detailed project data that will lead to to robust analytics and improvements in techniques for solving the water and sanitation crisis.
  • A transparency and efficient Net-based approach that will drive an overall increase in funding for rural water projects. No other platform exists in the water sector that provides the type of transparent project vetting accomplished by our peer review network.  Transparency leads to accountability, leads to trust…and, ultimately to increased project funding levels. 

 

The most important results are how people's lives are transformed:  children lead healthier lives and can get an education, women can become more productive members of their villages, communities can focus on economic development.
