Agenda for Change systems strengthening case study synthesis
Spectrum of contexts and cases (Fig 4 in the case study synthesis)
Agenda for Change supports its members to deliver systems change and document and share their experiences in the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sectors. As part of that overall effort, the Global Hub contracted a team from the Springfield Centre and Aguaconsult to test an approach to assessing systems change by applying it to three WASH cases, synthesizing learning across all three cases, and providing basic guidance on how members can replicate the approach should they wish to.
Case study synthesis
This document presents evidence that systems strengthening approaches have contributed to scalable improvements in service delivery across the three cases analyzed. The likely ownership and sustainability of these successes are influenced by several key factors, including the operating context, change agent financing conditions, and the ability to adopt adaptive management approaches.
