We are recognised by stakeholders for our strong integration with other sectors, including Shelter and Settlements. There is, however, an internal recognition that we can do better at striking a balance between quality and quantity. While we can demonstrate excellent engineering proficiency for hardware (safe water delivery, latrine blocks with handwashing facilities etc.), we don’t always implement the software needed to fully realise its impact and help ensure our services are sustainable. It is through these softer outputs that we will concentrate our efforts during this strategic period.
By the end of 2025, we will be recognised for our focus on, and ability to deliver WASH programmes that are holistic and correctly balance software and hardware. Our signature programmes will include:
- moving from increased knowledge to changing behaviour
- integration to support better learning outcomes in schools
- facilitating governance of sustainable WASH systems that scale
- understanding land and water rights in WASH – and becoming recognised in the WASH sector as the pioneer and lead on this issue
