WASH sector developments

A water sector policy is in place since 2007 with support by ODI.

A WASH strategic framework is finalized early 2011 with support of IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre. In the context of this work an online database of relevant sector documents has been made available.

Sector information management and GIS are gradually being put in place.

A next step should be the elaboration of multi-year sector development investment plans.

The sector is steered by the SSWSSC, implementing NGOs under guidance of UNICEF have formed and active WASH cluster and related WASHforum using a googlegroup.

South Sudan is due to become an independent country by July 2011.

Hi,

 I would like to introduce myself as the Environmental and Social Specialist for the World Bank Funded Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Projects in Aweil, Kuajok, Rumbek and Yambio.  Under this project, we would like to hire an NGO to conduct household surveys in these towns to assess the socioeconomic conditions and KAP towards water and sanitation. If any of you are interested or you know someone who might be interested, please contact me at venkata@eng-consult.com

 

I appreciate your help.

 

Regards,

3rd High Level Forum on Water and Sanitation for All in Africa

Organised by Water and Sanitation for Africa (WSA), the theme of the HLF is "Vibrant and effective South-South cooperation to accelerate access to water, sanitation and hygiene for all".

The tricky business of what is considered “evidence” in WASH

Judging by the number of posts on Twitter, evidence for decision making seems to be a hot topic at the moment not only in the WASH sector but more broadly in the development realm. DFID, the British bilateral cooperation agency has published the latest “Water, Sanitation and Hygiene – evidence paper”. I agree generally with the broad lines of the conclusions about what we still need to know to do our jobs in the sector better, but it was with utter disbelief that I read what is considered “evidence” in the report and what is discarded as not being “sufficient evidence”.
