Lessons from WaterAid's multi-country WASH in schools programme
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:11 authored by Ruth Hinds, Tracey KeatmanWaterAid conducted a School Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programme funded by the H&M
Foundation from 2013-16. The programme launch gave an opportunity to test the school WASH
approaches and provided space for the WaterAid’s Country Programmes to innovate and integrate
successes into programme design. WaterAid capitalised its experience from this programme through
learning workshops and end of programme evaluation. This paper summarises the key lessons and
recommendations to enhance the quality of the programme design. The key learning from the programme
focusses on deepening partnership within the sector, cross-sector engagement, translating policy into
practice, sustaining hygiene behaviour change, and increased capacity of government to support
sustainability of the intervention. These lessons have influenced our programme design including
WaterAid’s new Guidelines for Sustainable and Inclusive School WASH.
