The tendency of the humanitarian WASH sector to be underfunded is aggravating –in 2008, 70% of the funding requirements were met, in 2017 only 59%. As a result, the sector fails to meet its ambitions in terms of coverage, quality and effectiveness of its interventions. The WASH Road Map is in need for strong internal coordination to connect the different stakeholders and allow them to be efficient (initiative 4.1). Creating common and inclusive tools for funding (initiative 4.2) and advocacy (initiative 4.3) for the WASH sector is urgent; This is the sine qua non condition for a rapid and effective response when a crisis occurs.
