<p>The United Nations University (UNU/Merit) together with the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS, UK) is responsible for the evaluation of the programme interventions; programme partners believe that the impact of sanitation on various levels including health, income, and general well being needs to be demonstrated at local levels and on a sufficient scale. For example, generally the rural poor do not yet regard sanitation as an income generating activity. Though, if their sanitation situation improves, their (sanitation related) health expenditures should decline and their free disposable income will increase. Such hypothesis will be tested through a rigorous impact evaluation study.</p>
