The Facility Evaluation Tool for WASH in Institutions (FACET)
Page Content
Institutional
water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in schools and health care
facilities are key elements of sustainable development and significantly
influence people’s health and well-being worldwide. Monitoring
conditions and progress is an essential part to assess and improve
conditions. The Facility Evaluation Tool for WASH in Institutions
(FACET), jointly developed by Terre des hommes, Eawag and CartONG with
support from the UNICEF/WHO Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply,
Sanitation and Hygiene (JMP), is based on globally recognised
indicators and is suitable across the continuum of humanitarian and
development interventions. Here we offer a complete package for an
entire monitoring project cycle from start to end.
A
simple and adaptable analysis tool, FACET offers state-of-the-art
online/offline mobile data collection on an open source platform. It is
an easy-to-use gender sensitive monitoring tool for WASH delivery
services in health care facilities (FACET WIH) and schools (FACET WINS)
and contains core and expanded version available for performing short as
well as detailed assessments. At the end of the survey, each WASH
service level according to the JMP laddered approach is calculated by
FACET and displayed on the mobile device ("basic service", "limited
service", "no service").
Specific online and offline analysis tools allow off-the-shelf analysis of the collected data.
The FACET Analyzer is an easy-to-use excel-based
offline tool that facilitates the analysis of FACET survey data
according to the JMP approach. The FACET Analyser detects the type of
survey (schools or health care) and updates headings, graphs and tables
accordingly. The tool can also import and compare two different
datasets. All graphs and tables can be copied and pasted into reports
and presentations. following the instructions given within the tool or
consult chapter 2.2 of the practitioner’s guide.
Alternatively, the PowerBI FACET Analyzer (PBI)
allows online analysis of collected data according to the JMP approach.
The different steps required to adapt the PBI templates for a given
FACET survey are described in chapter 2.3 of the practitioner’s guide.
A
separately available practitioner’s guide introduces the operating
principles and basic features of the tool and offers a guideline how to
adapt it to the local context. It is available in English and French and
separately explains the content and logic of the indicators for schools
and health care facilities. Additionally, it provides informative
insights from field experience and offers additional material for
enumerators and survey trainings as well as report templates.
