Driven by our core value of transparency, we created the Everyone Forever Tracker to visualize the impact Water For People is having globally. Below, you can click through each country and district to learn more about our progress. Click here to understand more about water and sanitation levels of service and how we measure them. You can also reference our Monitoring Framework.
Country and District Data is current as of September 2018. Progress Toward Everyone and Progress Toward Forever data is current as of March 2019.
Monitoring is a vital tool for program sustainability and improvement. Water For People and our local government partners collect data on a wide range of variables – from service levels and sustainability, to sanitation uptake and customer satisfaction. Our current Akvo Flow ratings go well beyond simply ensuring that water is flowing and systems are functional. We also assess the capacity of the institutions responsible for providing services. Additionally, Water For People holds annual Reflection Sessions in every country where we work, with participation from our staff and partners. These sessions celebrate successes, identify barriers, and adjust our approaches to achieving water and sanitation for Everyone Forever. Both our annual monitoring and Reflection Sessions have the added value of building capacity among our local partners, helping districts prepare to take over monitoring and ensure that water flows Forever.
Water For People began evaluating sustainability of water services using a Sustainable Services Checklist in 2017. Service provider data is one aspect of the checklist, but it also includes evaluation of the service authority and has a water resources management component. The checklist has eight core indicators that are consistent across country programs. Under each core indicator there are a series of metrics that must be met to receive the point for the indicator.

Essentially, Water For People is a non-profit and we would rather spend money on our causes instead of the very significant amount of money that it would cost us to design and maintain a website that works for legacy, unsupported browsers.
