The aims of this factsheet are to:
1. Advocate for sustainable WinS globally as anchored in the SDGs;
2. Highlight key solutions to existing challenges within WinS;
3. Explore various innovations and successful approaches using examples from low and middle income countries and outline best practice approaches and lessons learnt;
4. Identify the common principles that are needed to achieve the desired outcomes.
The following programming principles or ways of working (abbreviated as GRADE) should guide the development of WinS programmes worldwide:
GUIDE: Provide clear implementation guidance
REWARD: Recognise and reward WinS improvements
ACTIVATE: Take one step at a time
DEMONSTRATE: Learn by doing (More practising WinS – less teaching it)
EASY: Make WinS easy
