WASH Governance Workshop
The WASH Governance Training Programme has been developed to provide a resource to strengthen governance and sustainability in the WASH sector. The approach is based on the recognition that ‘concepts’ are not sufficient to translate theories into practice and therefore the programme includes tools and methodologies to promote good governance and sustainable services.
The purpose of the WASH governance training programme is to equip water and sanitation sector practitioners (trainers, capacity builders, NGOs, facilitators) in developing training programmes on water and sanitation governance and how to advocate good governance and best practices in practice. It is also to develop WASH institutional capacity through increased knowledge, understanding and action in terms of strengthening and improving WASH policy, planning, financing, institutional arrangements, and regulation with a focus on the local level.
