A very centralized Department of Education (DepED) in the Philippines adopted a decentralized approach by giving all the responsibilities to school principals to adjust the school’s needs and implement a phased approach of the WASH in Schools programme. Since Typhoon Haiyan’s emergency response, addressing water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) needs has become a priority for the Education Officials at division, province and national levels. The support of key champions with their long-standing field experience, technical knowledge and reputation have guided the government’s decision making through an active WinS Technical Working Group.
