Needs Assessments

Energy, Water, Sanitation & Hygiene, and Food Security Evaluations at the Household Level

Energy, Water, Sanitation & Hygiene, and Food Security Evaluations at the Household Level

About

In the framework of IMPACT-R, organizations with a strong social mission working in developing countries (microfinance institutions, cooperatives, NGOs, and energy and water technology suppliers) can apply for financial support to conduct household data collection studies.

The purpose of the studies is to investigate the nexus between access to energy, access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), and food security, through a detailed needs/market assessment at the household level.

The main focus lies in the improvement of household access to basic services

Energy (SDG7)

Clean Water, Sanitation,
& Hygiene (SDG6)

Food Security
(SDG2)

Understanding the needs of the population, beyond national statistics or studies focusing on population samples, is crucial to achieving sustainable development without leaving anyone behind. Despite the growing awareness of sustainable development topics, the monitoring of progress at the household level remains a major challenge for the research, public, and private (investors, NGOs, financial institutions, and small and medium enterprises) sectors.
