Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

Sanitation Practice

WASH, an acronym for water, sanitation and hygiene, is a sector in development cooperation, or within local governments, that provides water, sanitation and hygiene services to communities. The cited article states that the main purposes of providing access to WASH services are to achieve public health gains, implement the human right to water and sanitation, reduce the burden of collecting drinking water for women, and improve education and health outcomes at schools and healthcare facilities. It is the focus of the first two targets of Sustainable Development Goal 6, and the article names diarrhea, malnutrition, stunting and neglected tropical diseases among the conditions associated with a lack of WASH. Public health programs for sanitation and water are grouped under this practice.
