OBJECTIVE OF WASH

  • Objective is the same regardless of programmatic context
  • Disaster response
  • Development
  • Reduce the transmission of fecal-oral diseases and exposure to

disease bearing vectors through:

  • Good hygiene practices

  • The conditions that allow people to live with good health, comfort and

security

  • Protect health

OBJECTIVE OF WASH

  • Simply providing water, sanitation facilities and hygiene

products is not sufficient

  • People must be given information
  • People must be able to take ownership

  • Relationship building
  • Contingency planning
  • Stockpiling equipment and supplies
  • Emergency services and stand-by arrangements
  • Personnel/community-level training and drills

  • Solid waste management
  • Vector control
  • Drainage
  • First and last line of defense
