Focus areas

Key team members

From 2010-2017, a consortium of Frisian and national water utilities (Water Board Fryslân, Vitens, Province of Fryslân, and the majority of the Frisian Municipalities) implemented the Frisian Urban Sanitation Programme (FUSP) in eight municipalities in Mozambique.

In 2017, IRC was contracted by DGIS to undertake an independent end-of-programme evaluation with a focus on the sustainability of the programme results. The evaluation included four specific objectives:

  • Programme effectiveness;
  • Programme outcomes and impact;
  • Programme sustainability;
  • Lessons learned, conclusion and recommendations;

The team used its vast experience in the area of urban sanitaton from Mozambique and across Africa to assess the sustainability of the Programme. For the sustainability componenet of the work, the team utilised the ‘sustainability check framework’ (adapted from UNICEF by IRC) and the FIETS principles of sustainability.
