Conrad N. Hilton Foundation
Strategy for Sustainable Safe Water Access:
“Prioritize the poorest and hardest-to-reach populations”
“improve the health, education, and livelihoods of the ultra poor”
“..support water programs that target impoverished, semi-arid and geographically remote areas with low water access and sanitation coverage, and high incidence of water-related disease...”

Discussion questions Does the WaSH sector have an ethical obligation
to ensure water and sanitation to the ‘ultrapoor’ and most disadvantaged?
What are the tradeoffs between reaching the ‘easiest’ of the unserved versus the ‘hardest to reach’ of the unserved?
We can’t reach everyone first, who do we prioritize to make the biggest impact and maximize investments?

Background and context
• Many monitoring and targeting tools and
indicators in use by the WaSH and
development sectors
• What works best?
– Minimizing cost
– Minimizing intensity of effort
– Maximizing effectiveness

Evaluation of tools
• Applicability – Many designed for microenterprise (not intended
for WaSH)
– Others have applicable characteristics
• Intensity – Lengthy and time consuming
– Advanced statistical and geospatial techniques
• Cost – Expensive
– Require many staff resources

Proposed ‘unserved’ monitoring
strategy
• Core equity indicators in all communities
to ensure poorest are reached
• More in-depth monitoring in 20% of
communities will likely provide 80% of
the insight to inform other areas

Discussion Questions
(1) What are the strategies, indicators, and tools used by
partners for targeting and monitoring the unserved?
(2) What are the steps involved for engaging with government
and other partners for targeting the unserved?
(3) What data sources are partners currently using to monitor
and target the unserved?
(4) What are the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of
‘unserved’ targeting and monitoring initiatives used in the
field?
