Cognitive Interviews in Nepal for Women’s Empowerment in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) developed new metrics to measure the extent and drivers of women’s empowerment in Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in support of USAID. The metrics was developed as diagnostic tools: to assess changes over time and as a result of specific WASH-related interventions. It further aimed to better understand the relationships between empowerment and WASH-related outcomes by examining the individual and household level varieties associated with more incredible women’s or adolescent girls’ empowerment. In this context, New ERA was associated and responsible for survey implementation in Nepal.
