Summary and Strategic Recommendations

The Water for Recovery and Peace Program (WRAPP) has been operating in Southern Sudan under PACT since 2005 with the aim to (1) increase access to protected water supply and enhance awareness about sanitation and hygiene; (2) enhance capacity for community management of water schemes; (3) contribute to the reduction of conflict and the promotion of stability and peace; and (4) be gender and environmentally sensitive. The main funding agency of WRAPP is USAID/OFDA.

By November 2007, WRAPP had implemented 707 (boreholes) rural water supply schemes, rehabilitated 505 (boreholes) schemes, 13 semi-urban water distribution

schemes, public toilet blocks in 10 towns and one hafir, a major rainwater harvesting facility. The total number of beneficiaries reached under WRAPP reach an estimated

1,4 million. The purpose of the evaluation was to assess the WRAPP approach in terms of its appropriateness, effectiveness and sustainability. The evaluation team followed the log frame approach, assessing to what extent the programme is meeting its objectives and achieving outcomes and impact with a focus on qualitative methods to assess the soft aspects of the WRAPP approach.
