INITIATIVE 2:  wash data
Improving EVIDENCE BASED decision-making IN WASH HUMANITARIAN SECTOR

WASH humanitarian programmers, coordinators, donors, and other stakeholders in emergencies are faced with various decisions that must be made in timely manner to best serve and respond to populations affected by emergencies. This may include where to allocate funding or other limited resources, how to know when to advocate and scale-up response, deciding response modalities and targeting, and many more. These decisions are most effective for improving outcomes for affected populations when grounded in evidence and data, however for a variety of reasons this does not always occur. Often either the right data is not available or accessible, stakeholders may not have the right knowledge or skills to use the data, the right analysis tools may not be applied or developed, or other constraints.
​
The aim of WASH Road Map Initiative 2 is to promote changes or novel research that may promote the availability, accessibility, or utilization of evidence-based decision making within the humanitarian WASH sector for greater effectiveness for populations needing humanitarian WASH services.

WRM Initiative 2 is led by IMPACT Initiatives, along with participation from IOM, ICRC, Global WASH Cluster, and UNICEF as of February 2024.
