In June 2012, we published a blog on assembling a list of WASH organizations and which had independent evaluations.  We are working with WASHfunders.org to incorporate this information, but in the meantime, based on popular demand, we’re sharing the list of organizations with independent evaluations (out of the approximately 550 WASH organizations identified). We understand this list is not complete or comprehensive.  Rather it is a list of evaluations that we assembled using the tools that a regular donor would have – web searches, word of mouth.

Let us hear from you – has your organization had an independent evaluation? Have you done an independent evaluation?  Please send an email or include the link in the comments section below.
