Description: How sustainable are outcomes several years after water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) projects have closed? In this webinar, Leslie Greene Hodel of Social Impact will present findings from an evaluation of the USAID/India Financial Institutions Reform and Expansion–Debt and Infrastructure (FIRE-D) project, implemented by TCG International between 1994 and 2011.

FIRE-D worked in partnership with the Government of India on new approaches to plan, design, and finance urban infrastructure. Seven years after the close of the project, the evaluation team used qualitative interviews and municipal water and sanitation access data to examine the sustainability of selected FIRE-D activities.
