Water Sanitation and Hygiene

In its quest to contribute to sustainable improvement in livelihood among the most vulnerable communities through provision of safe water, sanitation and hygiene promotion, the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Department has aligned itself to the IFRC global water and sanitation initiative, which outlines a common approach among National Societies to establish large scale, long term sustainable water and sanitation programmes.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) further acknowledges that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development. Sustainable development cannot be achieved without access to safe water for both domestic use as well as adequate water to support livelihood interventions.
