Impact and monitoring

Impact and monitoring

Projects follow rigorous protocols so that impact can be maximized from planning to program monitoring.

SOCIAL IMPACT GUIDELINES

Our actions follow internal guidelines or instructions that encompass rules of coexistence, policies, and procedural guidelines focused on human rights and cooperation norms.

1. GENDER EQUITY

In particular, the problem of water especially affects women, who in many cultures are responsible for the task of collecting and managing the resource.

2. SOCIAL COHESION AND CULTURAL ADAPTATION

The consensus of the members of the community and the sense of belonging to the projects carried out in their population is very important. As well as total adaptation to local cultures and traditions.

3. FIGHT AGAINST POVERTY

Impoverished communities are the result of many circumstances, including insufficient or unsafe water and sanitation services, which in turn undermine other rights resulting in further deprivation.

4. TERRITORIAL APPROACH TO DEVELOPMENT

One key aspect to always consider is promoting the interaction of different actors: citizens, communities, civil society organizations, private sector, local governments, central government, and other entities.

5. SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE

We promote the sustainable development of territories and communities while seeking to ensure environmental conservation by leaving a positive footprint and minimizing negative impact.

6. PUBLIC, TRANSPARENT AND PARTICIPATORY MANAGEMENT

Citizen participation in all the projects that are carried out is essential for them to be successful. The community is the one who best understands its context and therefore must be present in the decision-making process, alongside the local government.

7. APPROPRIATE AND CONTEXT-APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY

Multiple factors are taken into account when applying one over another, including its complexity, its maintenance and ease of replacements, economic resources, culture and traditions, among others.

8. RAISING AWARENESS FOR A "NEW WATER CULTURE"

It refers to the concept that emerged from a social movement of the 1990s which addresses concerns regarding water and its divisions into water for sustenance, water for use by citizens, water for luxury and water for business.

9. ADAPTATION AND COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE

We support climate change adaptation measures aimed at limiting impact, reducing vulnerabilities, and increasing resilience in the face of climate change for both human and natural systems.

10. WORKING WITH ETHNIC POPULATIONS

Unfortunately, ethnic and indigenous peoples are the ones who most lack state support in terms of infrastructure because they are outside the productive sector by adhere to their ancestral customs and live in more isolated areas.

THE LOCAL ENTITY

The success of the projects depends to a large extent on the Local Entity we partner with.  Mostly NGOs with experience in the field that are carefully selected because of their importance. They are organizations that know first-hand the socio-cultural context, their people, the environment, but also the bureaucracy, the timelines, and of course, the language. They know where to acquire the necessary materials, machinery and local labor, but especially, they are the ones who know and experience the issues faced by the communities, including those related to water and sanitation. Their work before, during, and after implementation will determine the achievement of the objectives of each mission. They have many responsibilities, but they depend on Manare to adapt and provide precise and appropriate support in order to build sustainable projects with community ownership.
  • Convey the needs of the beneficiary community
  • Negotiate with the rest of local agents (entities, suppliers ...)
  • Generate detailed budgets
  • Provide reports and previous analysis of the problem
  • Identify and communicate context (climate, geography, political situation, etc.)
  • Promote citizen participation both voluntarily and contracted
  • Represent the project locally
  • Update and actively communicate project status
  • Report audiovisual documentation regarding the development
  • Facilitate on-site logistics

project monitoring

The objective is not just to provide access to clean water, but to ensure its sustainability for many years. That is why our work does not end once a project has been implemented in the area. To ensure a real and sustainable impact over time, we remain committed to maintaining the programs with protocols based on the MEAL methodology.

MONITORING

Continuous data collection during projects

EVALUATION

Analysis of the data to correct actions in the medium term
