This report summarizes the NicaSalud report, “Experiencias en la implementación de la Metodología de Monitoreo Comunitario Participativo para Agua, Higiene y Saneamiento,” (in Spanish) on the participatory community monitoring methodology and its application by three nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Nicaragua. The original report, as prepared by members of the NicaSalud Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Working Group – ANASAM, PCI, and IMPRHU – documents the Participatory Community Monitoring (PCM) Initiative project that NicaSalud developed with funding and technical assistance from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), through the Environmental Health Project (EHP). This summary report highlights the benefits of PCM, the phases and steps involved in implementing PCM and discusses the institutionalization of the PCM methodology. The intended audience is program planners and managers who would like to include PCM in their water, sanitation, and hygiene programs.
