Over the past decade, the Government of Ethiopia tried several times to develop an inventory of rural water services for SDG monitoring. Despite these efforts, the government struggled with systems that can’t be updated, low-quality data, and limited ability to turn data into insights. DTI is partnering with Global Water Challenge to bring its proven approach of the Water Point Data Exchange (WPDx) to help the Government of Ethiopia harmonize diverse datasets and transform that data into accurate estimates of basic water coverage across the country to track SDG progress. This project will provide all stakeholders with the most comprehensive dataset ever compiled, the ability to easily and routinely update data, and the tools needed to use the data in estimating SDG progress at a sub-national level.

Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) seeks to transform orphaned, abandoned and disadvantaged children’s lives in Latin America and the Caribbean by providing safe, healthy and loving homes, healthcare and educational opportunities. DTI supports a range of leadership development initiatives that target Pequeños in their critical late-teen/early adult years. These programs seek to complement NPH’s other basic services by building the skills and providing the experiences that youth need to break the cycle of poverty and reach their full potential in life after NPH.
