Jaynie Vonk is an Impact Evaluation Lead for Oxfam GB. Much of her work has focused on understanding the impact of Oxfam’s programming on Sustainable Water and Sanitation. Measuring aspects of water insecurity, governance and well-being have been integral to this effort. Drawing on Effectiveness Reviews carried out in Zambia and DRC, she worked together with other HWISE-RCN members to demonstrate the relationship between perceived good water governance, water insecurity and self-reported well-being.
More recently, an Effectiveness Review carried out in Sierra Leone demonstrated the impact of Oxfam’s work in reducing water insecurity among urban households in Freetown. Jaynie is currently most interested in exploring connections between water insecurity, climate justice and resilience, with particular attention to the ongoing climate and food crisis in East and Central Africa.
