Planning, Monitoring, evaluation, reporting system
Emphasis on results based management outlined the APRO overview in Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting. WASH indicators in emergency and development programming are well aligned to Sphere standards with established monitoring tools. Discussions on improving quality of reporting linked to appropriate data collection guided by indicator definitions could be addressed further with WASH specific support and training in PMER.

WASH Indicators, Standard Tools for long-term (development) and emergency programming:
WASH Indicators, Standard Tools for long-term (development) and emergency programming:
GWSI standard tools which encompass the whole project cycle: field assessment, base line, proposal development, planning, monitoring and evaluation as well as guidance on post-implementation evaluation (the ‘look back study’) undertaken some years after project completion to measure sustainability and impact.
Plan of Action guidance for emergency operations (sample log frame with indicators, outputs and outcomes).
Proposed Red Cross Red Crescent SDG6 Impact and Performance Indicators Guidance Note with additional considerations and SDG links.
OFID One WASH proposal (Ghana, Malawi and Rwanda) for reference.
The team in Geneva has planned to review the GWSI tools and POA for emergency in 2019, to include more public health information (e.g. cholera, acute water diarrhoea) and improve programming for disability and gender considerations.
The tools and guidance referred above are available in this folder (link).
Key elements of PGI in WASH programming
Key elements of PGI in WASH programming
Protection, Gender and Inclusion policies and tools were introduced as practical guidance for mainstreaming PGI in WASH programming. A compelling number of videos were shown including illustrations of Dignity, Access, Participation and Safety being key elements of the IFRC Minimum Standard Commitments to PGI. A scenario exercise to mainstream PGI into WASH outcomes with activities and indicators resulted in active feedback discussion.
Minimum standards for protection, gender and inclusion in emergencies
Minimum standards for protection, gender and inclusion in emergencies
The IFRC’s Minimum standards for protection, gender and inclusion (PGI) in emergencies is now in its second edition. This edition is the result of three years of testing, revision and feedback from protection, gender and inclusion (PGI) and sectoral specialists, based on use in the field by Red Cross Red Crescent staff and volunteers in many different humanitarian operations. In addition to new chapters (such as cash-based interventions), there is a stronger focus on sexual and gender-based violence and disability inclusion. This edition will be complemented by an expanded toolkit (under development) with practical resources to support the use of the standards in all operations.

CarouSEL - PLANS & ACTIONS
The final session of this technical meeting galvanised the energies, contributions and consensus of participants in groupwork resulting in concrete plans to implement or enhance the following three products.
A) WASH Case Studies
A) WASH Case Studies
Organization and identification of six topics for issues to be uploaded on WATSAN Mission Assistant. The focus of these case studies will go beyond success stories to feature most significant change and provide useful insights on approach in process and implementation. Needs identified included some training, integration with communication units, and peer review to be coordinated by programme managers as focal points. As a follow up to this meeting, the implementation and methodology will be concretized with leads to be appointed for each of the six case study topics discussed and selected, which are:
Menstrual Hygiene Management
Urban WASH
Innovation stories
Solid waste management
Integrated programming: PGI, Health, Nutrition
School-based WASH
B) Asia Pacific Health and WASH Newsletter
B) Asia Pacific Health and WASH Newsletter
The newsletter was redefined and rejuvenated on the theme ‘Everybody involved in the Newsletter’ to ensure higher involvement, usage and contribution from National Societies, with support from IFRC WASH focal points in country or in direct liaison with APRO-WASH to coordinate monthly issues circulated by email. Asia Pacific is the only region running a WASH newsletter and should continue to do so. This meeting affirmed the relevance and usefulness of this platform with the current components:
What’s New: latest news and features
National Society News: to share updates from the field
Courses and Webinars: internal and external learning opportunities
Tools and Resources: may include links to WASH features published by other units

C) WASH Webinar Training 2019-2020
C) WASH Webinar Training 2019-2020
Training via webinar is agreed as the way forward to reach more people with reduced costs of face-to-face training, and locations with access challenges can receive learning through recorded sessions. Six webinar sessions will be held in a year under key focus areas of WASH and will be open to external WASH audience. This meeting identified 12 key topics (not in order of priority) and the leads to develop and organize these topics for webinar delivery, with facilitation support by IFRC APRO:
