Justin Lupele talks about SPLASH, WASH in schools and MHM.

Under the WASHplus project integration was a strategic approach to attain desired health and development outcomes and combined WASH with nutrition, education, HIV, and neglected tropical diseases programs. The brief features accompanying slide decks focusing on sector-specific integration programming.

School WASH can be a powerful springboard for household level WASH and community development. The challenge is that WASH in Schools and in communities or households usually falls to separate agencies or ministries. These will have to find a means for collaboration in order to benefit from the synergies and spillover effect.

WASHplus Country Snapshots and Results, 2016. This document provides a summary of country interventions and a snapshot of results as of 2015. Each WASHplus intervention is tailored to address the unique needs of a given country—whether it be improving school WASH, enhancing household sanitation options, or marketing improved cookstoves.

At the end of its fifth year, WASHplus has stories to tell, results to share, events to celebrate, and studies that add to the evidence base. WASHplus activities serve as the backdrop for many stories: the Zambian school girl who has access to privacy and menstrual supplies when she needs them, the Malian household that can now build an improved latrine on their rocky soil, the mother in Bangladesh who understands the importance of a feces-free environment, the Nepali home breathing cleaner air as it trials an improved cookstove.
