USAID Jordan Water Infrastructure Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan September 11, 2019 1

1. INTRODUCTION TO THE USAID JORDAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE MEL PLAN

1.1 Purpose

This Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan is being updated from the MEL Plan approved on January 9, 2019 to reflect current task order and to add the new Indicator 3.3.3.a Value of new funding mobilized to the water and sanitation sectors as a result of USG assistance. (F. HL.8.4-1). This Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan has been prepared by CDM International Inc. (CDM Smith) for USAID/Jordan for the USAID Jordan Water Infrastructure (the Project). The purpose of this Plan—in conjunction with the technical approach proposed by CDM Smith to implement the Project—is to “demonstrate a sound, realistic and clear understanding of the objectives of the program, to demonstrate how progress will be measured, and a convincing approach to achieve the results proposed.”

This document starts with a brief overview of the project, its context, and the underlying development hypothesis, theory of change and results framework. The plan covers the selected performance indicators, their baselines, the targeted values over the life of the project, along with data quality assurances and assessment procedures.

Consistent with the standards of ADS 201, this MEL Plan describes how CDM Smith will monitor, evaluate and learn from implementation and the resulting data collected to manage the Project. The draft MEL Plan was prepared and submitted to USAID/Jordan COR within 90 days of the award (October 16, 2018), per Task Order Deliveries or Performance, Section F.7.A.2 (Pages 52-54), including elaborated Performance Indicator Reference Sheets (PIRS) and the roles and responsibilities of personnel for the MEL system. This MEL plan includes:

Alignment of project and activity (task) design with the Goal and Development Objectives of the USAID/Jordan Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) Results Framework (see Figure 1-1,) and relevancy to achievement of selected Intermediate Results (IRs) (see Annex A - Project Results Framework);

Support for learning through regular opportunities for CDM Smith, USAID, and other collaborators to take stock of progress toward achieving results, reflect on challenges, successes, and changes in critical assumptions, and make revisions to future work plans;

An integrated, multi-tiered approach to MEL, especially task monitoring, which allows for changing conditions, tracking key context factors, and integration of the MEL staff and systems of the Water Authority and other water-related partners as feasible; and

Indicators approved by USAID, applicable to Mission-specific activity and performance management needs:

– Primary emphasis on DO#3 Social Sector Quality Improved, driven by IR 3.3: Accountable, Sustainable Management of Water Resources Increased,

Page 9: USAID JORDAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING, …

USAID Jordan Water Infrastructure Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan September 11, 2019 2

- Cross-cutting gender issues, contributing to SDO 4: Gender Equality and Female Empowerment Enhanced.

The MEL Plan describes gender, linkages, and special topics, elaborating how the Project activities and related indicators contribute to achievement of relevant CDCS results. CDM Smith will utilize the MEL Plan periodically for further development and discussion with the USAID/Jordan and other stakeholders, e.g. Ministry of Water and Irrigation, Water Authority of Jordan, water utilities, other implementing partners, local government, community-based organizations and other donors as appropriate.

This MEL Plan describes results and metrics, and sets standards for collecting, evaluating and validating data to measure overall progress toward the Mission goal and objectives—meeting the needs of the Mission’s Performance Management Plan (PMP) to measure achievement and annual Performance Plan and Report (PPR), with flexibility to adapt to changing conditions and priorities.

The Project MEL Plan is submitted in accordance with ADS 201including all requisite elements, including the project’s theory of change and logic model (results framework and log frame); approach to strategic collaboration, continuous learning and adaptive management; performance indicators and data disaggregation; data collection methods and annual and life of project targets; evaluations; multi-tiered monitoring approach and resource requirements to perform MEL throughout the life of the Project, including reporting requirements.

1.2 Project Information and Context

CDM Smith will implement a set of Project activities resulting in outputs that not only meet their direct physical objectives, but synergistically will have outcomes that lead to more efficiency in management, opportunities for women or disadvantaged people, increased access to clean water, increased likelihood of long-term sustainability, and contribute to overall impact of higher level goals and development objectives of USAID/Jordan and the Government of Jordan.

1.2.1 Project Description

The purpose of the Project is to improve access to drinking water and sanitation services, contributing to achievement of USAID’s Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) objective to improve social sector quality (DO3) and intermediate result 3.3 to increase accountable, sustainable management of water and natural resources. These results will be achieved through nine technical tasks (see map, Figure 1-2), with MEL integrated at every level. The tasks contribute to lower-level CDCS results through 3.3.2.1 capacity building and 3.3.3 improved infrastructure. In addition, necessary equipment and integration of the Water Authority, water companies and related partners are key activity elements. The contribution of tasks to key Mission results, including gender-related, are described below. The monitoring of each task, described in section 2 of this MEL Plan, will be integrated with the overall MEL approach and considered in each phase – from planning, design, precontract services and through construction supervision. The Project contributes to addressing CDCS cross-cutting issue rapid population growth, but only after construction projects are completed and operational (see indicators for DO3 and IR3.3).

Development Objective #3 Social Sector Quality Improved

The Project will contribute to advancing development objective (DO) 3 – Social Sector Quality Improved based on six core tasks and three optional tasks that, individually and collectively, help to achieve Intermediate Result (IR) 3.3: Accountable, Sustainable Management of Water Resources Increased—to the Northern Governorates and Greater Amman through:

Task 1, Providing Engineering Services and Support for the Aqaba-Amman Water Desalination & Conveyance Project (AAWDCP) which replaced the originally planned Red Sea/Dead Sea Conveyance Project Phase II by preparing Build, Operate, and Transfer (BOT) tender documents including the preliminary engineering design, cost estimates, build, operate, and transfer (BOT) procurement documents, environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA), financial model analysis and legal memo, and otherwise support the Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MWI) to competitively tender the project, the Task Option was engaged on April 23, 2019;

Task 2, Construction Supervision of the Shedeyyeh – Hasa Water Project/Phase I, where customary construction units of measure for progress and expenditures will be utilized;

Task 3, Detailed Engineering Design and Tender Documents for Expansion of Zai Water Treatment Plant Project, where custom indicators for number of architecture and engineering documents for facilities will be used;

Task 4, Feasibility Study, Design and Tender Documents for Expansion of Madaba Wastewater Treatment Plant, where custom indicators for number of architecture and engineering documents for facilities will be used;

USAID Jordan Water Infrastructure Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan September 11, 2019 4

Task 5, Feasibility Study and Design for Expansion of Ramtha Wastewater Treatment Plant, using custom indicators for feasibility studies and architecture and engineering documents for facilities;

Task 6, Water and Wastewater Project for Deir Alla, where custom indicators for architecture and engineering documents for facilities will be used;

Task 7, Water and Wastewater Project for Bani Kenanah/Irbid Governorate, where custom indicators for architecture and engineering documents for facilities will be used;

Task 8, Technical Assistance to Water Utilities, where analysis will be done in support of previous tasks to determine needs, gaps, and other shortcomings to strengthen infrastructure management, performance, and services, and be measured by number of water and wastewater staff trained, should this Task Option be engaged; and,

Task 9, Assessment of Water/Wastewater Systems, Feasibility Studies, Designs, Tendering Support, and Construction Management Services, where progress will be determined based on indicators developed for facility engineering and construction, the Task Option was engaged on February 14, 2019.

Special Development Objective #4 Gender Equality and Female Empowerment Enhanced

The Project will support cross-cutting special development objective 4: Gender Equality and Female Empowerment Enhanced. Project-specific gender analysis will be integrated through Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting (CLA) across the project and within tasks as appropriate, further detailed in Section 2 of this MEL Plan. Within our team, every effort will be made as a matter of practice to include women and other marginalized or disadvantaged people in the conduct of the work, including MEL tasks, to the extent possible. This practice was used successfully on our previous project with our local Contractor staff and CDM Smith staff in Jordan and those in our home office who provided support to the project. Additionally, we currently have women staffing technical positions in a construction CMS site office.

Task schedule and team

Tasks 3, 4, and 5 commenced in August 2018, Tasks 2 commenced in February 2019, and 6 began in November 2018, Task 7 is now scheduled to begin October 2019, and optional Task 8 will commence 30 days following notification by USAID. Task 1 commenced with the signing of Modification 3 to the task order on April 23, 2019. Task 9 commenced with the signing of Modification 2 to the task order on February 14, 2019. The task order end date can be no later than September 30, 2022, per the terms and conditions of the Global Architect-Engineer Services II IDIQ Contract. The award amount is $ 49.6 million. CDM Smith, as a prime IDIQ contract holder, will serve as the Implementing Partner wholly accountable to USAID/Jordan for the performance of the Statement of Work (SOW).

1.2.2 Activity Location and Institutional Context

Figure 1-2 indicates, in general terms, locations for the tasks, e.g. the starting point in Aqaba from where treated seawater will be pumped to Amman, for Task 1, while no specific locations are indicated for Task 8, which will provide technical assistance to the water utilities in Jordan and, based on previous experience, Task 9 subtasks may involve projects throughout Jordan. The Project will be implemented in cooperation with MWI/Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ), Water Companies, Municipalities and the Ministry of Environment and in collaboration with other USAID Implementing Partners.

1.2.3 Theory of Change and Results Framework

USAID’s theory of change for DO3 is that if the Government of Jordan (GOJ) is responsive to citizen needs through the delivery of quality basic services, then the social sector quality of life is improved (DO3), and contributes to stability in Jordan (CDCS Goal). The CDCS DO3 Results Framework in Figure 1-3 illustrates the causal relationships between different levels of DO3 results and associated PMP indicators.

The Project theory of change under DO3/IR 3.3 is that for water and natural resources (IR3.3), if water sector management is improved, and if the amount of water per capita is increased through infrastructure improvements and conservation efforts, then the people of Jordan will have improved access to drinking water and sanitation services (Project purpose). The Project will not only provide quality water and wastewater infrastructure, but also work to continue to enhance relations between the MWI/ Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ), municipal, and water companies’ engineers.

The Project-level logic model, the results framework in Figure 1-4 (and Annex A), illustrates the specific contribution of the Project to CDCS DO3 results with corresponding metrics. The Project log frame (Annex B) includes assumptions and context indicators. Project-specific cross-cutting issues, assumptions, and linkages across CDCS DOs are described below.

Page 16: USAID JORDAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING, …

USAID Jordan Water Infrastructure Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan September 11, 2019 9

The Project will delineate tasks and subtasks for accomplishing physical objectives while creating an environment conducive to learning and improving management and service provision in the water and wastewater sectors.

1.2.4 Critical Assumptions, Risks, Special Topics and Linkages

The theory of change is based on critical assumptions, which will be tracked through the CLA approach at the project and task levels. See Annex C for assumptions by results, risk levels for each, and related context indicators at the DO and IR levels.

Special topics related to the project include the gender cross-cutting issue, as well as accountability and sustainability. Consideration will be given to USAID policy guidance (ADS 205), Agency policy, country-level gender analyses and sector-specific gender guidance, especially on integration of gender throughout Tasks and activities.

Gender issues will be developed through the following potential entry points and opportunities:

Performance data, sex-disaggregated as appropriate Development of gender issues as part of the learning agenda Employment of women as Project staff - (CDM Smith) and sub-contractors Terms of reference for tenders and other procurements, prepared using gender-sensitive

content Communications materials for project prepared with gender-sensitive methods and content Interactions with community members during infrastructure pre-design, design, tendering,

procurement and construction Opportunities to engage women during infrastructure pre-design, design, tendering,

procurement and construction Identification of candidates for short and medium term technical training with USAID or

other donor programs Collaboration with partners for learning events, technical engagement and regular exchange

meetings

2. THE USAID JORDAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE MEL PLAN

The MEL approach for the Project is multitiered, including projectwide and task-specific MEL tasks, using multiple sources of information as well as task-generated data. The MEL approach accounts for the complexity of the environment, including social, economic and environmental forces acting in varying degrees of influence on project task areas. CDM Smith proposes to monitor and learn from the technical activities using the results framework to organize, structure and make the MEL approach consistent throughout implementation. The MEL approach will include dissemination and sharing of lessons learned as part of adaptive management tasks, tools and documentation. The MEL approach will be further developed and adapted with input from USAID and key stakeholders throughout implementation.

2.1 Collaborating, Learning and Adapting

At all periods and at all levels of project implementation, there are opportunities for the achievement of basic goals of the Project to be enhanced and more effective in creating overall change and improvements for society’s benefit.. This is particularly true for infrastructure development, though it may not always be obvious. For example, the process of planning and implementing a water treatment or wastewater treatment plant gives rise to improvements in management processes, decision-making within local government, transparency and information dissemination to the public, potential for employment of women, and the overall comprehension and understanding of customers or beneficiaries regarding the need to participate in the long term prospects for success of the program.

CLA and learning approach

The CLA approach will include learning topics linked to key questions across the Project and within individual tasks, and it will be structured to take advantage of collaboration opportunities such as those described below. Information and data will be gathered not only from task implementation, but also from water-related institutions and other Jordanian sector collaborators. Indicator data will be supplemented by narrative including lessons learned and success stories.

Other data such as data related to gender, or environment, that generate lessons learned, will be integrated into the overall CLA process. As needs and opportunities arise during the Project, CDM Smith will produce in-house studies and assessments to inform decision-making or to keep Project proponents aware of impacts. Strategic Collaboration Opportunities for collaboration and consideration of learning agenda topics can take place in conjunction with the following project interventions:

Project Quality Management (PQM) Workshop: The purpose of this PQM workshop is to achieve consensus among principal project stakeholders regarding what the project team must accomplish (mission), critical success factors, what actions are necessary to achieve the mission with risk levels for each, and what each individual’s role is on the project. At the end of the session all stakeholders should have a clear understanding of the project and their role.

Meetings with Stakeholders: Conduct meetings with stakeholders during and at or near completion of each deliverable stage with the purpose to collaborate and receive comments on

Page 18: USAID JORDAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING, …

USAID Jordan Water Infrastructure Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan September 11, 2019 11

the deliverables and as a decision-making session to decide on options and recommendations, and to record events in minutes of meetings.

Strategy Sessions: Conduct strategy sessions early on between the CDM Smith Team, USAID, water companies, and MWI/WAJ on the type, size, location and monitoring of projects.

Introductory Sessions: Conduct introductory discussions with local community leaders in the areas impacted by the various components of the project and tasks.

Environmental Scoping Sessions for proposed activities: Conduct a stakeholder meeting to identify the planned project, stakeholder and community concerns, and ways to address concerns during project planning and implementation.

Lesson Learned and Best Practices: Reflect on what implementers are learning through this process what could be helpful in the future, and what could inform current and future decisions.

Learning questions and agenda

Per USAID guidance, the learning agenda may consist of (1) a set of prioritized learning questions that address knowledge gaps and are linked to the project theory of change, critical assumptions, and/or technical base; (2) a set of associated activities that address learning topics through collaboration (described in bullets above), and (3) a set of electronic and written products that reflect the learning process. Together the learning questions and agenda provide a framework for learning about key knowledge gaps related to the Project. Some of the topics for the learning agenda may include linkages with other results of the CDCS, assumptions and context indicators, and gender issues. The learning agenda includes information and data that, in addition to performance indicators, provides a more effective way to achieve results, learn from the process, and lead to adaptations in the Project design or future project designs.

The project theory of change is that for water and natural resources (IR3.3):

if water sector management is improved, and  

if the amount of water per capita is increased through infrastructure improvements and conservation efforts,  

then the people of Jordan will have improved access to drinking water and sanitation services (the project purpose).   

The learning questions are linked to the Project theory of change, critical assumptions and risks (Annex C), previous technical lessons learned, and gaps in current sector knowledge. The following illustrative learning questions will be discussed with USAID, implementing partners and other stakeholders to prioritize the learning questions and agenda and finalize the learning agenda:

Projectwide (What are the knowledge gaps at the project level?)

What are the linkages between increased quantity and improved access of drinking water? Sanitation services?

What are the key factors, including context, that affect these linkages? What are other factors that affect access? Consider these issues in both urban and rural

contexts.

Within Tasks (what are Task-related questions about gaps in technical knowledge that need to be addressed for successful results?)

Page 19: USAID JORDAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING, …

USAID Jordan Water Infrastructure Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan September 11, 2019 12

What are some of the barriers to sustainability in selected technical tasks? How can these be addressed during the life of project – beginning, middle, and end project stages?

Gender-related question – For selected Tasks, what are the main barriers for women and vulnerable groups in improving access to drinking water and sanitation services being improved through infrastructure improvements? How can these barriers be mitigated in the short-and medium-term?

The learning approach and adaptive management processes will be further developed and agreed on during the early stages of the project, through regular collaboration (described above) with partners and through learning events, as the learning agenda is implemented and revisited over the course of the project. Learning events may include regular quarterly planning and evaluation meetings during which stakeholders review progress, identify challenges and problem solve, identify lessons learned and agree on any needed changes; “peer assist” (implementing partners) workshops where implementers come together to solve common problems; informal gatherings such as “lunch and learns” or other informal meetings where people can share what is and is not working; site/field visits; etc. MEL data and information can be shared and reviewed at these “pause and reflect moments” to ground the discussion in real data, ideally through facilitated sessions with USAID and key collaborators during the Project. The pause and reflect moments examine outcomes and high-level results together with key mission events such as portfolio reviews and PPR reporting. An example of outreach may include an internet accessible electronic project library on a GOJ website (Task 1). Data and information integrated into the learning agenda, including assumptions, context indicators, special topics and narrative such as lessons-learned stories will be reviewed as part of the learning events and the annual update. Learning events will be synced with USAID/Jordan’s fall portfolio reviews, scheduled at least one month ahead to allow learning and performance results to reach USAID. This will also be part of preparation for the PPR, and provide USAID with the data needed well ahead of the deadline.

Reflection and adaptation

In collaboration with our key stakeholders, CDM Smith plans for regular reflection on the progress of implementation and achievement of results to identify and learn from successes and challenges and to adapt the implementation approach based on the evidence provided by the monitoring systems and consultations with USAID. In addition, at the end of the project CDM Smith will document lessons learned, assemble them in a ‘best practices’, share them with stakeholders and relevant parties, and capture knowledge.

Examples of adapting lessons learned may include adjustment of technical plans and analytical tools, workplans, task or project-level MEL tasks, assumptions, indicators, analytical tools or project management approaches. Some of these will be identified in the initial learning agenda in collaboration with USAID and other partners to allow for adjustment during the course of implementation.

2.2 Performance Monitoring System and Approaches

This section describes the nature of the performance and context indicators for the Project, both quantitative and qualitative, in order to measure progress against results and impact of the project on sustainability objectives. The team has worked with USAID to develop the indicators and specific data collection tools and forms for each, ensuring auditable information.

Data to be collected will include, but not be limited to: number of people receiving improved water or wastewater services; cubic meters of water provided or saved as a result of USG assistance; number of

Page 20: USAID JORDAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING, …

USAID Jordan Water Infrastructure Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan September 11, 2019 13

water and wastewater staff trained; percent construction completion in water and wastewater infrastructure; and requisite architecture and engineering studies and reports approved.

2.2.1 Performance and Context Indicators

The performance indicators for the JWI program will be comprised of pertinent Mission PMP indicators for the water and services sector, specific custom indicators which relate to this project’s deliverables, and qualitative or quantitative indicators derived from CDCS linkages, including cross-cutting issues relevant to the Project. Performance indicators (see Project Results framework Figure 1-4 and Annex A) and log frame (Annex B) were developed in conjunction with the Mission’s program and WRE offices, with regard to previous USAID water projects in Jordan, with the cooperation of the MWI/WAJ. An example of this collaborative approach to developing appropriate indicators for measuring the progress and impact of infrastructure programs was demonstrated in the previous USAID project managed by CDM Smith, the Water/Wastewater Infrastructure Program (WIP). Of the six performance indicators for DO3/IR3.3 RF – 2 are F/standard, 4 are PPR, 3 are gender-related (sex-disaggregated).

Less directly measureable effects of the project, such as quality of life, health, or the economy may be determined by conducting surveys or other studies. In addition to performance indicators, context indicators as per ADS 201.3.5.7 will be developed as part of the results framework, log frame and learning agenda (see Annex C). The context indicators will be informed by critical assumptions and other information and data collected through CLA tools and methods, and will be documented through CIRS. Sustainability of interventions will be tracked in part through context indicators, and is a special topic, part of the learning agenda. The Indicator Tracking Table (Annex D) summarizes the six approved indicators aligned with CDCS results for the PMP, the PPR, and use in learning sessions and other data tasks.

2.2.2 Indicator Baselines and Targets

In the early stage of the Project, MEL staff have worked with USAID to examine each major task in detail, evaluate and assess at what stage the various tasks are, and determine from available documentation and information appropriate targets for Life of Project and annual accomplishments. These performance and context indicators will be monitored over time, to determine the extent to which tasks are being implemented according to plan, whether the interventions are effective in achieving their objectives, and the degree of influence of external factors. Indicators may be quantitative for most construction-related targets and qualitative for more indirect benefits and impacts. Context indicators will not have targets but will have baselines as appropriate.

2.2.3 Data Quality Assurance and Data Quality Assessment (DQA) Procedures

CDM Smith’s data collection system links the performance indicators to a transparent system to collect, analyze, and report on data. This system includes mechanisms that turn data into useful evidence to inform project decision-making and ensure staff under the project and their roles in MEL.

To effectively manage results and have credible reporting practices, CDM Smith’s staff, will collect performance data that meet reasonable standards of validity, integrity, precision, reliability, and timeliness as per ADS requirements for Data Quality (ADS 201.3.5.8), also in Annex D. The development of PIRS and CIRS (Annex E) are critical elements of ensuring data quality. A well-written PIRS provides the needed documentation for collecting data for the indicator and consistently reporting on it. CDM Smith’s staff and data collection staff could change unexpectedly, but the PIRS documented in the MEL Plan provide a standard reference. In addition to adhering to the methodologies described in the PIRS, the CDM Smith staff give high priority to having complete, accurate, and consistent performance data, as management needs and resources permit.

Page 21: USAID JORDAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING, …

USAID Jordan Water Infrastructure Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan September 11, 2019 14

To this end, the CDM Smith will conduct internal Data Quality Assessments (DQAs) on an annual basis, in addition to external DQAs as conducted by USAID. CDM Smith’s staff will provide all coordination and assistance required for external DQA.

CDM Smith’s internal DQA procedures are as follows:

1) Identify indicators for review. Where data are collected quarterly, the indicators will be included in the DQA each quarter; where data are collected annually, the indicators will be reviewed annually.

2) Identify the DQA team and other required resources. Generally, this will include the MEL staff and other team members responsible for data collection. Where implementing partners (e.g., subcontractors or grantees) are responsible for data collection, interviews with personnel will be conducted.

3) Develop the approach and schedule, including interviews and document review required, including those from partners. Communicate approach and schedule to the relevant team members.

4) Review indicator definitions from the relevant PIRS and CIRS. Address any issues of ambiguity in the definition.

5) Collect documentation and conduct interviews with relevant team members, using the standard DQA Form (see Annex D Data Quality Assessment Form) to assess validity, reliability, timeliness, integrity, and precision.

6) Prepare DQA documentation, and provide a summary of any findings of significant limitations, Include where appropriate a plan of action, including timelines and responsibilities, for addressing the limitations.

2.2.4 Reporting of Indicator Data

Data will be stored by CDM Smith in an indicator tracking table in Excel format. See Section 3 below for CDM Smith’s Indicator Tracking Table, which will be adapted for use on the Project, including for context indicators. This information will be presented in Quarterly and Annual Reports, as well as to the COR in draft for review prior to inclusion in said reports. Other formats for reporting will be developed and annexed (Annex G), including various tools such as performance indicator calculation sheets, data visualization, for CLA events and analyses. The data is stored on a server in our Amman office that is backed up regularly and is also stored on a project specific information software called ProjectWise that is required by CDM Smith’s quality procedures to store and record all project data.

2.3 Data Collection Methodologies

Due to the variation of services provided and of data to be collected, there are numerous methodologies for collecting and recording the information. Construction field data will record quantities and percentages of progress. Completion of facility construction will trigger and require methods for measuring increased numbers of individual receiving improved water and wastewater services. Such information is described in the PIRS for each indicator. Other information must be collected by recording training sessions and keeping records of approvals of deliverables. The data will be collected from construction contractors, from approved project reports that identify population projections, from attendance records completed at capacity building/training sessions, and from the number of approved engineering reports. A verification of the data will be managed by the Chief of Party and provided to our M&E Specialist during periodic milestone visits.

Page 22: USAID JORDAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING, …

USAID Jordan Water Infrastructure Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan September 11, 2019 15

2.4 Gender

Gender Equality and Social Inclusion issues relevant to the Jordanian context—and to construction projects, in particular—may be enumerated in a stakeholder engagements and learning events or studies. Information sharing and public outreach may be involved in the overall management and implementation of the program, integrated into the CLA approach, and will not only benefit marginalized people, but also improve general public acceptance of the project.

The Project will ensure that data about the extent to which women on the staff have been able to build their capacity in the water and wastewater sector for better water management and service provision. This will be reported as part of capacity building based on training either on-the-job (in a design or construction setting) or from vendors. CDM Smith will collect performance indicator data disaggregated by sex, and measure the target population’s access to service through construction of the facilities. The Project may undertake studies and assessments as part of the learning agenda to further ascertain the ways in which women and people with disabilities are affected by the improvements.

Through the opportunities and entry points outlined in Section 1.2.4 Special Topics on p. 9, key gender issues for the project may be elaborated throughout implementation and integrated into the learning agenda. These lessons may be captured through a combination of project data collection, narrative from interviews or field visits, and other means.

2.5 Evaluation

In line with USAID’s Evaluation Policy, the project evaluation questions and the evaluation plan will be developed by USAID, and will include consideration of the Project and individual tasks as appropriate. An endline evaluation is expected to be conducted, and evaluation questions will be developed that are relevant to implementation, adaptation or review of technical activities and results. CDM Smith will work with USAID to contribute technical content for consideration in the development of evaluation questions, indicators and methodologies.

A comprehensive evaluation was completed in preparation of developing the CDCS on the past ten years or more of USAID’s support in the water sector. In order to effectively assess the effectiveness of USAID's water-related interventions, USAID could focus a sectoral evaluation on answering the following key questions such as:

How have Project water‐related interventions improved essential service delivery to meet the needs of the people in Jordan?  

How has Project water‐related support helped GOJ improve the management, quality of life, and transparency in infrastructure development?  

How have Project results led to more accountability and sustainability of water resources, 

2.6 Management of the MEL Plan

Roles and Responsibilities

Implementing the MEL Plan

The Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Plan was developed early in the project, within the first 90 days of the project start, and is being updated to reflect current task order and to add the new Indicator 3.3.3.a Value of new funding mobilized to the water and sanitation sectors as a result of USG assistance.

Page 23: USAID JORDAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING, …

USAID Jordan Water Infrastructure Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan September 11, 2019 16

(F. HL.8.4-1) and contains explicit information on staff responsible for managing and implementing the plan, and the methodology for conducting this work. In alignment with USAID’s CLA approach, MEL tasks and products are integrated throughout the staff and project activities.

The Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Specialist works with engineering and construction management staff in the field to assure the capture of all relevant, significant, verifiable data. This work is overseen by the Chief of Party, the Deputy Chief of Party and relevant field managers to be sure that all quality standards are being maintained.

The initial MEL Plan was developed by the MEL Specialist, COP and Project technical staff, to assure the plan is manageable, effective and can be implemented. The MEL Specialist, as required, will be supported by local M&E or staff from other disciplines. Staff from all aspects of the Project will be part of MEL processes as feasible, especially CLA and capture of lessons learned and reflective work sessions.

So that information sharing and public outreach is more effective, local stakeholders will be involved at points throughout the Project’s life cycle. This enables the stakeholders to be more aware of what data are being collected and potential implications and be more knowledgeable participants in future discussions and decision-making.

The information and data gathered in support of indicators will be recorded and stored on the Amman server and on ProjectWise software, oversight of data and information gathered will be by the COP and provided to our M&E Specialist during periodic milestone visits. Reporting of indicators and monitoring evaluation and learning events and required updates will be in Annual Work Plans, Quarterly and Annual Reports and the MEL Plan.

ANNEX E. PERFORMANCE AND CONTEXT INDICATOR REFERENCE SHEETS

ALL PROJECT PIRS & CIRS Last update: September 2019

PERFORMANCE INDICATOR REFERENCE SHEET

Development Objective 3: Social Sector Quality Improved 3.d Number of people gaining access to safely managed sanitation services as a result of USG assistance (cross-cutting rapid population growth) (F HL 8.2-3) Annual Report Indicator: __X__ Yes __ ___ No for Reporting Year(s) 2018-2022

DESCRIPTION F Definition: A safely managed sanitation service is defined as a basic sanitation facility service (see below) that is not shared with other households and where excreta is safely disposed in situ or removed to be treated off-site. Safely managed sanitation services are those that effectively separate excreta from human contact, and ensure that excreta do not re-enter the immediate environment. This means that household excreta are contained, extracted, and transported to designated disposal or treatment site, or, as locally appropriate, are safely re-used at the household or community level. Persons are counted as “gaining access” to a safely managed sanitation service if their household did not previously have similar “access”. This may include households who previously had a basic sanitation facility, but did not have safe removal or disposal of excreta. A basic sanitation service, defined according to the Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP), is a sanitation facility that hygienically separates human excreta from human contact, and that is not shared with other households. Sanitation facilities meeting this criteria include: - flush or pour/flush facility connected to a piped sewer system; - a septic system or a pit latrine with slab; - composting toilets; - or ventilated improved pit latrines (with slab). All other sanitation facilities do not meet this definition and are considered “unimproved.” Unimproved sanitation includes: flush or pour/flush toilets without a sewer connection; pit latrines without slab/open pit; bucket latrines; or hanging toilets/latrines. Households that use a facility shared with other households are not counted as using a basic sanitation facility. A household is defined as a person or group of persons that usually live and eat together. USAID Jordan Specific Information: This number is not counted cumulatively and will only report on the number of people benefiting in the year that the improved sanitation facility is completed. People gaining access to the facility in subsequent years (due to factors such as population growth) will not be counted in this indicator. For the definition of ‘access’ in Tasks 4 and 5, there will be a facility upgrade, so some of the local population has access, and the upgrading will increase the number of people with access and increase quality of the treated water. Under the project, Task and 7 will include new wastewater networks (pipelines), possibly pump stations, and new or upgraded plant. Tasks 4 and 5 facilities will include upgrading wastewater treatment plants. Project Tasks contributing to this indicator: Tasks 4, 5, 7, and 9 TBDUnit of Measure: Number Method of Calculation:

Page 36: USAID JORDAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING, …

USAID Jordan Water Infrastructure Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan September 11, 2019 29

The number of people will be calculated using the capacity of the wastewater treatment plant at the design phase triangulated with the current or anticipated population served in the target area during the year of completion (based on Department of Statistics data) and the average effluent per person per year for the target community. Sex should be calculated using the 2015 census data for the national average (47% female/53% male) Disaggregated by: Operating entity (WAJ/Miyahuna-Amman/Yarmouk/Aqaba Water Co./Miyahuna-Zarqa, Miyahuna-Madaba), sex (male/female), Management Utility: This is an output indicator that will be used for program management and tracking of progress towards higher level goals.

PLAN FOR DATA ACQUISITION BY USAID Data Acquisition Method: (standard F method) Data will be collected by JWI, MWI/WAJ. USAID staff, implementing partners, or a third party evaluator must reasonably demonstrate the linkage between USG assistance and new services provided in order to attribute results to this indicator. Acceptable method(s) by which data for this indicator can be collected are: - Direct count of beneficiary households and estimates of the number of people living in those households by the USAID partners implementing activities in the zone of influence. (This method would be most appropriate when the technical approach being pursued involves some direct household engagement by the USAID implementing partner). (USAID/Jordan method) The number of people will be calculated using the capacity of the wastewater treatment plant at the design phase triangulated with the current or anticipated population served in the target area during the year of completion (based on Department of Statistics data) and the average effluent per person per year for the target community. Data Source(s): The population projections will be developed in various project deliverables and be approved by USAID and MWI/WAJ Timing/Frequency of Data Acquisition: annual Estimated Cost of Data Acquisition: Incorporated in implementing partner’s responsibilities. Responsible Individual(s) at USAID: WRE Team

PLAN FOR DATA ANALYSIS, REVIEW, & REPORTING Data Analysis: Data will be analyzed against baselines and targets. Data analyzed and reviewed by the implementing partner and USAID WRE Team Presentation of Data: Summary tables and disaggregated tables Review of Data: As data becomes available Reporting of Data: Targets should be set on an annual basis but may report progress toward these annual targets on a quarterly basis via DevResults. All data should be reported in line with the USAID fiscal year/quarterly schedule.

DATA QUALITY ISSUES Initial Data Quality Assessment: TBD with USAID Known Data Limitations and Significance (if any): Due to the unreliable nature of the subscriber numbers from census and utilities, an estimate is being used. Additionally, this indicator only shows a snapshot in time at the time of completion of the sanitation facility and thus, does not show the full picture of beneficiaries of these interventions. Actions Taken or Planned to Address Data Limitations:

OTHER NOTES Baselines/Targets: Targets are set based on population projects, however, these projects are revisited and adjusted as needed at the time of completion of the sanitation facility to get the actual number. The baseline will be taken from the FY16 data for the indicator “number of people gaining access to improved sanitation facility” which is being dropped after FY16 Location of data storage: Data will be kept with the Water Resources and Environment Team and in the Mission’s performance management system, DevResults. JWI will maintain a copy as well as maintain all records on the disaggregated data for this indicator.

PERFORMANCE INDICATOR REFERENCE SHEET Development Objective 3: Social Sector Quality Improved 3.e Number of people receiving improved service quality from an existing basic or safely managed drinking water service as a result of USG assistance (cross-cutting rapid population growth) (F HL.8.1-3) Annual Report Indicator: __X__ Yes __ ___ No for Reporting Year(s) 2017-2020

DESCRIPTION Standard F Definition: A safely managed drinking water service is defined as one that meets the definition of a basic drinking water service (see indicator HL.8.1-1 and definition below), and is also: - Located on premises: water is provided directly to the household or on premises; - Available when needed: consistently produces 20 liters per day for each person counted as “gaining access.” This amount is considered the daily minimum required to effectively meet a person’s drinking, sanitation, and hygiene needs; - Compliant with fecal (and priority chemical) standards: meets a fecal coliform standard of 0 CFU/100 mL, arsenic standard of 10 parts per billion, and (at a minimum) host country standards for other chemicals that have been identified to pose a site-specific risk to human health. A person is counted for this indicator when their current primary drinking water service qualifies as a “basic ,” or “safely managed” (see indicators HL.8.1-1 and HL.8.1-2) but, the quality of “service” they receive is further “improved” as a result of USG assistance in terms of its ease of accessibility, reliability, water quality and/or affordability. Specifically, “improved service quality” is defined as being achieved if: - The accessibility measure, time taken to collect water from a basic or safely managed service, is further reduced to less than the minimum requirements for a basic water service (see indicator HL.8.1-1) or safely managed water service (see indicator HL.8.1-2); and/or - Reliability of supply improves such that the person’s main service is available regularly or more frequently, i.e. there is no regular rationing of supply or regular seasonal failure of their improved service; and/or, - Water quality improvements are made that would be reasonably expected to result in long term improvements to the fecal, biological or chemical contamination of a drinking water sources (e.g. construction of water treatment systems, support to service provider to consistently chlorinate water, implementation of a water safety plan); and/or, - Affordability of their basic or safely managed drinking water services improves such that the average price they pay for water is no higher than two times the average water tariff for piped water into the dwelling in their country (where applicable).  Basic drinking water services (from standard indicator HL.8.1-1), Basic drinking water services, according to the Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP), are defined as improved sources or delivery points that by nature of their construction or through active intervention are protected from outside contamination, in particular from outside contamination with fecal matter, and where collection time is no more than 30 minutes for a roundtrip including queuing. Drinking water sources meeting this criteria include: - piped drinking water supply on premises; - public tap/standpost; tube well/borehole; - protected dug well; protected spring; - rainwater; and/or - bottled water (when another basic service is used for hand washing, cooking or other basic personal hygiene purposes). All other services are considered to be “unimproved”, including: unprotected dug well, unprotected spring, cart with small tank/drum, tanker truck, surface water (river, dam, lake, pond, stream, canal, irrigation channel), and bottled water (unless basic services are being used for hand washing, cooking and other basic personal hygiene purposes).

USAID Jordan Specific Information: JWI Tasks for this indicator: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 9 TBD JWI Task 1 will have desalination plant, transmission pipeline, pumping stations and wells. Task 2 will have deep wells, transmission pipeline, pumping stations, tanks, and treatment plant. Task 3 will rehabilitate treatment plant, new transmission pipeline and upgrade pumping stations. Task 6 and 7 will have new and rehabilitate water supply network. This number is not counted cumulatively and will only report on the number of people benefiting in the year that those individuals gained access to an improved service. People gaining access in subsequent years (due to factors such as population growth) will not be counted in this indicator. Unit of Measure: Number Method of Calculation: Numbers of subscribers for an improved source X the average person per household number OR the population projected to benefit from the “improved drinking water source” **The standard household average of 4.8 people per family should be used by all implementing partners. Sex should be calculated using the 2015 census data for the national average (47% female/53% male) Disaggregated by: Geographic area (Governorate), sex (male/female), marginalized or vulnerable groups Management Utility: This is an outcome level indicator that will be used for program management and tracking of progress towards higher level goals. USAID will contribute to this indicator by working with utilities provide more water (reliability, frequency, quality) through management best practices, leak reduction, and additional water sources. Use of a “safely managed” drinking water service, as defined, is strongly linked to decreases in the incidence of waterborne disease especially among children under age five. Diarrhea remains the second leading cause of child deaths worldwide. While not guaranteeing “use” of the drinking water service, this indicator measures progress in making high quality drinking water available/ “accessible” in a manner that typically leads to use of the safely managed service.

PLAN FOR DATA ACQUISITION BY USAID Data Acquisition Method: Upon completion of construction, rehabilitation, or upgrading of water services that meets the standard for basic or a safely managed service, data must be collected by USAID staff, implementing partners, or a third party evaluator. USAID staff, implementing partners, or a third party evaluator must reasonably demonstrate the linkage between USG assistance and new services provided in order to attribute results to this indicator. Acceptable method(s) by which data for this indicator should be collected are: - Program records and observations of water supply systems constructed/renovated. .. - Observations of water services and direct count of beneficiaries or households with estimates of the number of people living in those households - Water quality testing must be used to confirm results related to improvements in water quality upon completion of the intervention - Household surveys of a representative and statistically significant sample of those who received improved drinking water service quality …-Intercept survey at the point of water distribution. - An intercept survey is a short structured interview carried out by an enumerator at a desired location, which, in this case, would be the water distribution point. -. These data sources require that a baseline must be established among potential beneficiaries before the start of activity implementation to measure current “time to collect”, and type of existing “main drinking water services” through an initial household survey, using a representative sample of households, conducted by the implementing partner or a third party. Water quality improvements require baseline testing of water quality.Service quality improvement information will be defined as:- Accessibility: the total time to collect water from the service- Reliability: the number of days within each quarter that the service was operational - Affordability: price per volume of water sold. - Quality: the chemical, physical, and/or biological characteristics of water.This indicator can be difficult and time consuming to measure accurately and requires robust data quality assurance on the part of USAID. Note: The same beneficiaries cannot be counted against this indicator and indicator HL.8.1-1 or HL.8.1-2.

DESCRIPTION Precise Definition: This indicator measures the volume in cubic meters of water provided or saved as a result of USG interventions. “Water provided” refers to additional water that was provided by water operating entities to either residential, commercial and agriculture customers. This will typically refer to additional water (frequency, volume, etc) that was able to be provided, compared to what the utility was able to provide previous to the intervention. This could be due to additional capacity added or water saved. “Water saved” refers to water that was being lost due to a leak, illegal tapping or other water loss cause that has been fixed as a result of the intervention, thus allowing additional water to be provided. Each Implementing Partner will provide further detail about the type of intervention that this indicator will measure specific to their project. The project contributes to water provided or saved through project tasks 1 – 7 and 9 TBD, water and/or wastewater infrastructure projects. The project does not contribute to this indicator through NRW. Task 1 – Red Sea/Dead Sea Conveyance Project, Phase II Task 2 – Shedeyyeh-Hasa Water Project, Phase I Task 3 – Zai Water Treatment Plant Task 4 – Madaba Wastewater Treatment Plant Task 5 – Ramtha Wastewater Treatment Plan Task 6 – Deir Alla Water and Wastewater Project Task 7 – Bani Kenanah/Irbid Governorate Water and Wastewater Project Task 9 - TBD Unit of Measure: Cubic meters per year (not cumulative but progress should be reported on a quarterly basis) Method of Calculation: NA, number is calculated by operating entities Disaggregated by: Operating entity (JVA, Miyahuna-Amman, Yarmouk Co., Aqaba Water Co., Miyahuna-Zarqa, and Miyahuna Madaba), and facility Management Utility: This indicator will be utilized to measure progress towards IR 3.3 Accountable, Sustainable Management of Water and Natural Resources Increased

DESCRIPTION Definition: This indicator uses the number of people who fully participate in training events specifically designed to increase participant capacity to assess, plan for, and/or address water and wastewater management challenges. This indicator counts training that was delivered in full or in part as a result of USG assistance. This assistance could include provision of funds to pay instructors, provide hosting facilities, transportation, specialized equipment/supplies, or other key contributions necessary to ensure education took place. Educated: includes a variety of methods including training as defined below. Trained: Training may use a variety of methods from online learning to discussion groups or trainings where there was a transfer of key knowledge, skills or aptitudes. Training examples include short-term technical courses, seminars, workshops, verifiable online courses, courses in the field, or technical interactive meetings with a learning objective such as working through water or wastewater system planning process. Indicator will be updated at the beginning of each course. Seconded staff also represent a type of training method, and includes integration of staff from MWI/WAJ, Miyahuna, Yarmouk, and Aqaba Water Company into the project team. Technical topics may include: all areas of planning, GIS, hydraulic modeling, feasibility studies, environmental assessments, designs, and specialized software. Tools, approaches, and/or methods are focused on the sustainability of water management systems to meet the needs of present and future generations. This indicator will be accomplished primarily through Task 8 (technical assistance and training) of JWI and MWI/WAJ staff seconded to the project throughout all tasks. The target beneficiaries include: water and wastewater systems staff of MWI/WAJ staff, water utilities, etc. Because Tasks 1, 8 and 9 are optional, the data for each activity under these tasks will be provided upon assignment from USAID. Targets are set annually but progress will be reported on a quarterly basis.  An individual trained more than once in a given reporting year can be counted multiple times only if trained on different topics. Individuals trained in subsequent years, even if on a topic on which they had been trained in previous years, can be counted each year that they receive additional training. Seconded staff may work on multiple I tasks, but are only counted once during life of project.

Annual Report Indicator: __X__ Yes _____ No for Reporting Year(s) 2019-2022 DESCRIPTION

Precise Definition: This indicator will measure the total value (USD) of new funding mobilized to expand or improve water or sanitation services, or implement water resource management activities. Funding must be allocated to the relevant ministry in government or disbursed by other organizations in order to count as mobilized. Funding under this indicator may include: - Domestic public resources (budget allocations, taxes) - Domestic public financing (bond issuance) - User payments (tariffs)

Page 43: USAID JORDAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING, …

USAID Jordan Water Infrastructure Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan September 11, 2019 36

- Private/commercial financing (such as via a commercial bank or microfinance institution) - Private financing through public-private partnerships (PPPs) or Global Development Alliances (GDAs) - Development partner or donor funds leveraged *Note that this may not include USG funding This funding must be applied towards the water and sanitation sector including: - capital investment projects for the new construction, replacement, rehabilitation or improvement of WASH infrastructure - operation and maintenance of existing WASH infrastructure - new WASH product development and marketing - expansion capital for small businesses providing water and sanitation products or services - government social behavior change campaigns - water resource management activities Funding counted towards this indicator must be new funding, that would not be available to the sector without USG assistance. USG assistance leading to mobilization of funding may include: - advocacy for increased national and county budgets for WASH and allocation of public funds - development of financial proposals, pipelines and financial products - structuring and implementation of PPPs or GDAs - creation of development credit guarantees - capacity improvements that enhance credit-worthiness of service providers or small businesses Mobilized finance reported under this indicator should be disaggregated as domestic or international. Domestic finance is investment which originated within the country in which it is implemented (e.g. national government funds to support implementation of a project within that country) and international finance is cross-border finance (e.g. a private company based in one country contributing funds for a project in a different country). Unit of Measure: Number Method of Calculation: (Value in USD of all funds mobilized) Disaggregated by: : Funding Source: Domestic, Funding Source: International, Funding Type: Public, Funding Type: Donor, Funding Type: Private, Sector: Water, Sector: Sanitation, Sector: Water Resources Management Management Utility: Increased financing for the water and sanitation sector is critical to achieving USAID's goal of increasing availability and sustainable management of safe water and sanitation for the underserved and most vulnerable. There is a significant funding gap between existing funding and needs to reach universal access. In order to achieve sustainability, it is important to mobilize other funding, including private finance and domestic public expenditure. Progress on this indicator will demonstrate progress toward's USAID's development results and increased self-reliance in target countries.

PLAN FOR DATA ACQUISITION BY USAID

DESCRIPTION Precise Definition: Number of approved engineering reports and/or studies related to water supply and wastewater infrastructure projects. This indicator specifically relates to construction projects that are occurring as a result of USG assistance. NRW activities will not be included. This indicator does not include contract supervision during construction, and does not include operation & maintenance supervision post-construction. Types of project task products, in the form of reports, studies, and assessments, are defined and summarized below. This is a cumulative indicator and represents progress by project task, sequenced over the life of project. Approval of formal, final engineering reports and studies is the result of several drafts and technical review and approval by USAID and MWI/WAJ. This indicator is defined in 3 stages: Pre-Design, Design, and Pre-Contract services described in detail below. Stages 2 (Design) & 3 (Pre-Contract) are made up of phases, and the reports and/or studies produced in each phase will contribute to the Stage-level target up to and including the year of completion of that Stage. For each stage, there are a basic set of documents described, and as there are changes and exceptions over time, these will be documented in the PIRS, Indicator Tracking Table, MEL Plan updates and other such as quarterly reports.

Page 46: USAID JORDAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING, …

USAID Jordan Water Infrastructure Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan September 11, 2019 39

Annual targets will be set and reported in the Project MEL Plan at the Stage level, reported quarterly, and sequenced throughout the life of project as phases and stages are completed. Indicator calculation sheets following each PIRS in the MEL Plan annex will provide the detail from each of the phases under Stages 2 and 3. Stages of JWI project tasks for this indicator: Stage 1 – Pre-Design The Pre-Design stage includes preparation of several reports and studies: Existing Conditions and Assessment Report which includes water/wastewater quality and quantity; Feasibility Study (or called Evaluation and Options Report) which includes analyses such as cost estimates, system analysis (economic, financial, socio-economic), and reclaimed water assessment; Evaluation and Recommendation Memo; Financial and Legal Memo; and Technical Memoranda as needed. This phase also consists of an Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), which includes a scoping statement and environmental/social impact assessment reports. (6 types of reports) Stage 2 – Design The design stage is broken down into 3 phases: Phase 1. Basis of Design – This phase consists of a Basis of Design Report (BODR), also called Preliminary Design Report, which provides design standards, architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation approaches to the final phase design and the type of process, piping, and pumping equipment being proposed for final design. The BODR also includes process & instrumentation drawings (PI&D), geotechnical studies, general site layouts and building arrangements. (1 type of report) Phase 2. Draft Design – This design phase will include prefinal designs/tender documents submission that cover the Contract Documents: Bidding and Contract Requirements (can be Build, Operate, and Transfer/BOT); Prequalification Questionnaire (if required); Technical Specifications; Bill of Quantities (BOQ); Geotechnical Report; and Detailed Design Drawings. This phase is equivalent to approximately 90% of the work in the Design Phase. (6 types of reports in draft, not counted for indicator) Phase 3. Final Design – This design phase will include any comments from the 90% review of the Contract Documents: Bidding and Contract Requirements (can be BOT); Prequalification Questionnaire (if required); Technical Specifications; Bill of Quantities (BOQ); Geotechnical Report; and Detailed Design Drawings. This represents the final set of documents once approved. (6 types of reports, same as in Phase 2 but final approved, used for indicator) Stage 3 – Pre-Contract This stage is broken down into 3 phases of the tendering and contract signing process: Phase 1. Prequalification of Contractors (if required) – This phase includes preparing prequalification criteria and questionnaire, advertising of prequalification document, pre-bid meetings and site visits, responding to questions by addendum and providing assistance to the Employer in reviewing the applications and evaluation reports. The reports for this phase are: Prequalification Document, Addendum, and Prequalification Evaluation Report. This phase is considered complete when the prequalification report is issued. (3 types of reports) Phase 2. Receipt of Tenders – This phase includes preparation of the Final Contract Documents for tender, advertising the contract, responding to Contractor questions by Addendum, and providing assistance to the Employer in the receiving of the Tenders. This phase is considered complete when the tenders are received. (2 types of reports) Phase 3. Contract Signing – This phase includes the Evaluation of Tenders Report, assisting the Employer with preparing the Award Letter, and preparing the Contract Documents for signing. This phase is considered complete with the Contract is signed. (3 types of reports) Unit of Measure: Number

Method of Calculation: Each project task from 1 – 7 will estimate targets for each applicable Stage for project out-years 2019 through 2022 when tasks are initiated. Tasks 8 and 9 are optional, assigned by USAID during implementation. As such, targets for these tasks will be established and documented upon assignment by USAID. Disaggregated by: Project (task), stage of project (defined above) Management Utility: This indicator provides information on progress towards completing the various stages of physical infrastructure projects under DO3, IR 3.3 for Pre-Design, Design and Pre-Contracting.

PLAN FOR DATA ACQUISITION BY USAID

Data Acquisition Method: The number of reports and studies is calculated by CDM Smith on a quarterly basis for each phase and summed for cumulative Stage-level totals across Tasks 1-7 and 9. Approved engineering reports and studies are verified by COR site visits, partner meetings, and review of progress reports. Data Source(s): CDM Smith and sub-contractors Timing/Frequency of Data Acquisition: Quarterly Estimated Cost of Data Acquisition: Incorporated in CDM Smith’s responsibilities Responsible Individual(s) at USAID: Water Resources and Environment Team
