How it Works
Every field note helps building a history of activity at the project site. Every visit should result in a field note, including visits by peers and 3rd parties. Visits can be before implementation, during implementation and during operational state.
If the field note is during the operating phase of the project, then PWX considers the note as a verification note. Verification can show if the current operating state is different from that in the 'final' report and thus draw attention and resources to resolve issues.
Soon PWX AnalytiX will track the number of projects verified and combine that with the amount of time elapsed since 'completion', to summarize monitoring efforts and the sustainability of projects.

Impact
Implementer: Uganda Women's Water Initiative
UWWI is a local chapter of the Global Women's Water Initiative. UWWI was formed by a GWWI Fellow and expert technician to create a local presence in Uganda to ensure that continued WASH trainings are offered to grassroots women's groups all over Uganda. GWWI has been training the UWWI leaders - Hajra Mukasa (UWWI Director, GWWI Fellow of 2011 and Master's Candidate in Public Health at Makarere University) and Godliver Businge (expert WASH technician) to launch their own projects in Gomba District. Hajra and Godliver have been managing, mentoring and training 10 women's organizations in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda for the last 2 years. Ultimately, our goal is to have UWWI be an integral PWX member!
