Key Outcome Indicator (KOI) Definition/Description Source/Method of Verification
An 'adequate plan' includes practical and efficient measures to mitigate the major
environmental and hygiene risks to which patients and staff of the facilities and/or the
communities served by the facility are exposed to.
This indicator is only relevant if WASH is in support of other sectors (i.e health; nutrition)
rather than stand-alone.

Learning opportunities relevant to the emergency: Typically, specific content and
teaching/learning strategies relevant to the emergency context must be introduced. This can
be defined by the sector, the MoE, the cluster or the agency but must be based in
documented and defined needs.
Note: Access should be regular and continuous to ensure potential leaning outcomes. Pupils
who attend learning opportunities only during a short period of the project or only
sporadically should generally not be counted against this indicator.
