This is yet another subtask that PWX should standardize. We should put together a basic questionnaire / data table that can be relatively easily applied to all the PWX projects (infrastructure development, training, monitoring and evaluation, etc.). It should include all post-construction (as most of these proposals involve some sort of construction) M&E activities such as (I'm just giving an initial set of data that would include the following:
(THIS LIST FOCUSES ON A WATER/SANITATION PROJECT - OTHER FORMATS CAN BE TAILORED TO OTHER PROJECTS). It needs to expand upon the basic format currently used in the PWX proposals, but based on outcomes and ongoing project implementation, not on initial designs, costs, etc.
1. Semi-annual updates of the number of water consumers, based initially on the initial proposal and updated accordingly. This would be useful for planning and projects for later system expansion.
2. Construction Cost (planned vs. actual).
3. Water Quality monitoring results (based on quarterly or semi-annual WQ tests. If standards are not met, then provide list of treatment options;
4. Financial: Water tariff, accounting procedures, cost / consumption projections, how to enforce payments from non-payers, etc.)
5. Proposed format for system expansion plans (capacity, cost, etc.)
6. Management structure, including proposals for more effective operations, standardized (to the extent possible) procurement monitoring evaluation, procedures, etc.
7. Notably successful systems that could be promoted as Model Approaches.
8. Etc.
Other MONEV data could be included as appropriate for the specific site.
Anyway, you get the point. This standardized monitoring process would save a lot of time and effort over the long run. Most if not all of the necessary tasks are already well-known. Beneficiary groups have to be trained to carry these out appropriately.
