Description:
This report synthesises and shares lessons arising from Water for Women WASH in HCF projects implemented by civil society organisation (CSO) partners in eight Asia-Pacific countries from 2018 to 2022, including Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Myanmar, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.
In these contexts, and across the Asia and Pacific regions, complex challenges to access and the sustainability of WASH services in HCFs exist due to the geographical remoteness of communities, fragile water sources, natural disasters and limited infrastructure, and are exacerbated by climate change.
This report highlights the achievements of partners in advancing progress towards basic service levels and draws out lessons learnt under three themes emerging from the research and practical experience across the Fund:
CSOs’ role in supporting governments' action — global approaches for WASH in HCF
WASH FIT strengthens collaboration at subnational and facility level
WASH in HCF progress is enhanced through coordination and learning.
