Sustainable Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Services

The WASHTech Technology Assessment Framework is a tool for identifying blockages to sustainability and scalability.
The Technology Applicability Framework (TAF) provides a neutral approach for investigation of WASH technological innovation through an objective examination of criteria in the key dimensions:
- Technology performance
- Market potential and scalability
- Institutional support
- Innovation and planning
- Sustainability of service provision
- Potential and process uptake of new technologies
The TAF comprises a screening assessment that does an initial assessment of the need for that technology in the context in which it is going to be applied and identify any show-stoppers. Those that pass this then undergo a more thorough assessment that uses 18 scoring sheets based on the six sustainability indicators above for three distinct perspectives: the user, the producer/implementer, and the regulator/investor.
