Power of Self-Assessment – Triggering Action for WASH in Schools
This session aims to present the power of self-assessments conducted in schools in different cultural settings and in different parts of the world. The concept is used in rich and poor countries alike. Experiences with the impact of self-assessments will be shared by leading practitioners and discussed with the audience. The focus will be on the potential and the limits of using self-assessments in public institutions as innovative method to trigger action by using transparency and accountability, setting incentives and rewards. Self-assessment has been used to draw attention to areas of importance, involving students, teachers, parents and the wider community.
Following the case presentation, participants will be asked to conduct an anonymized mock self-assessment on hygiene behavior through a link on their smartphones. The results will be simultaneously displayed on screen, while the participants will share their experience.
Presenters will share key learnings from the assessment exercises and engage participants in a panel discussion.
