WASH Road Map

A WASH Road Map: What for?

In 2019, humanitarian assistance reached a global peak of people in need, with the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector at the core of the response to emergencies.
Too often, WASH responses has failed to meet
 defined humanitarian or sectoral standards owing to a lack of capacity, preparedness and funding, resulting in services and assistance that are not fully accountable and do not adequately address the priority needs and expectations of the people affected.
 

Now is the time to accelerate action to enhance the capacity of the WASH sector to provide high-quality and accountable responses, rooted in preparedness and resilience across the continuum of the humanitarian-development nexus. Using a risk-informed approach allows for resilience and mitigates the impacts of emergencies while strengthening disaster risk reduction, climate change and adaptation, and environmental protection, among other benefits. In addition, innovative, predictable and flexible multi-year funding of the humanitarian WASH response has the potential to maximize gains towards achieving the ambitious targets set for the sector by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

Through strengthened collective commitments and strategic engagement by all stakeholders active in the WASH sector, the implementation of the Road Map will roll out innovative approaches to save lives, reach better public and environmental health outcomes and build synergies between acute and complex emergencies, humanitarian crises and long-term development.
