-
The South West Area Integrated Water Resources Planning and Management Project (SWAIWRPMP) was supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) with a substantial grant from January 2006 until June 2015. In the project a concerted effort was made to involve women, and it is said that due to the project’s interventions the political empowerment of women has increased to such levels, that more women are elected in the Union Parishad. The Gender and Water Programme Bangladesh (GWAPB) undertook a field study to investigate whether and how this project has contributed to empowerment of women in the area, especially in the political dimension.

Rural Sanitation Evaluation, Cambodia (2012)
-
The Adventist Development and Relief Agency Cambodia (ADRA) has been operating in the water and sanitation sector for 18 years. ADRA's program has always involved hardware coupled with software interventions. However, the biggest criticism has been the reach and impact of the program on the poorest within communities and whether ADRA should incorporate the principles and methods of Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) more directly into the way ADRA's program operates. Therefore, ADRA commissioned this study to identify lessons learned from other programs and how and if these lessons and methods of implementing latrine programs should be considered for integration into ADRA's program.
