Improved Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (IWASH) To make measurable, community-focused improvements in water supply, sanitation and hygiene in Bong, Lofa and Nimba counties in Liberia.

The “Improved Water, Sanitation and Hygiene” (IWASH)
program goal was to make measurable, community-focused
improvements in water supply, sanitation and hygiene in Bong,
Lofa and Nimba counties in Liberia.

Building on existing program frameworks, IWASH also included Ebola-related
hygiene messaging in the final year of implementation.
IWASH sought to:
 Increase access to water supply, sanitation, hygiene
education and household-level hygiene products.
 Raise community knowledge and use of potable water
supply options and storage technologies, sanitation
facilities and hygiene practices.
 Develop an enabling environment for WASH at the
national, county, district and community levels.
This case study will focus on the program’s employment of
Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), which promotes
transformative, community-driven behaviour change to
eliminate open defecation. Global Communities developed an
innovative “CLTS+” approach by tailoring the proven CLTS
methodology to community-specific needs in order to create a
more sustainable and scalable program model for some of
Liberia’s most vulnerable communities.
