Pathways towards gender equality in and through humanitarian and transitional WASH assistance Sue Cavill (2025)
The discussion paper identifies quality criteria, recommendations for action and monitoring indicators on how gender-responsive WASH programs can be implemented effectively in humanitarian and transitional WASH assistance. It also presents practical examples that show how gender-responsive as well as gender-transformative measures are already being successfully implemented in the WASH sector.
The discussion paper is authored by the independent expert Sue Cavill. The development was accompanied by a working group of the German WASH Network. The paper is based on a review of existing studies, guidelines, standards and donor policies, an online survey in which 37 experts from the WASH sector participated, a focus group discussion with local practitioners from the Eastern Africa region, and interviews with 10 key informants from member organizations. In addition, 7 organizations contributed concrete case studies, which are presented in the document.
