R-WASH Intelligence Hub
Sustainable, climate-resilient water services for refugees, internally displaced people and the host communities beside them — at eight settlement sites in Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda, with every field submission turned into evidence for decisions.
Who We Are
The R-WASH Monitoring Platform is the evidence engine behind UNICEF's R-WASH programme — sustainable, climate-resilient water services for refugees, internally displaced people and host communities. Field teams submit ODK surveys from eight settlement sites; the platform validates, aggregates and reports them, so donors, governments and evaluators all read from the same numbers.
What We Do
Every submission starts in the field and ends in a decision. We ingest, clean and process ODK survey responses in real time, update KPI and Activity monitoring, keep photo evidence safe, and publish dashboards, maps and reports — turning raw submissions into structured records, indicator progress and export-ready reporting for programme managers, donors and governments.
Water Services at Three Levels
R-WASH works from the waterpoint up to the water sector, so gains outlast the project.
Waterpoint Level
Waterpoints drilled, equipped and quality-assured so they keep functioning years after installation.
- Construction & functionality records
- Water quality testing at every site
- Preventive maintenance, site by site
Water Service Level
Reliable, affordable water around the clock for every household — refugee and host alike.
- Continuity, litres per person and interruptions
- Affordability tracked in USD per m³
- Equity between refugee and host communities
Water Sector Level
Local utilities, water boards and authorities own and operate what comes next.
- Local utility performance monitoring
- Evidence for policy, financing and participation
- Results shared with UNHCR and governments
