"Wastewater and environmental surveillance (WES) is disease surveillance using samples from sewage, or other environmental waters impacted by human wastewater. WES has potential to provide information alongside other forms of disease surveillance to fill gaps in other surveillance data and inform the public health response. WES has been successfully used for many years in the polio eradication programme and more recently in the COVID-19 […]
Les opérateurs de boues de vidange jouent un rôle essentiel dans le secteur de l'assainissement. Pourtant, leurs conditions de travail sont souvent précaires et dangereuses. Face à ce constat alarmant et au manque de données précises, ISW a financé une étude approfondie sur la situation des vidangeurs au Niger. Réalisée dans cinq villes (Niamey, Maradi, Zinder, Birni N'Gaouré et Tessaoua), cette étude a combiné enquêtes quantitatives […]
"WASH FIT is a risk-based, quality improvement tool for health care facilities, covering key aspects of WASH services: water; sanitation; hand hygiene; environmental cleaning; health care waste management; and selected aspects of energy, building and facility management. The first edition of WASH FIT was published in 2018 and as of 2022 is in use in over 40 countries. This second edition responds to member state and […]

Elles présentent une synthèse de l'état des données probantes disponibles concernant les liens entre l'assainissement et la santé, formulent des recommandations fondées sur des données factuelles et proposent des orientations encourageant des politiques internationales, […]
"Developed in accordance with the processes set out in the WHO Handbook for Guideline Development, these guidelines provide comprehensive advice on maximizing the health impact of sanitation interventions. The guidelines summarize the evidence on the links between sanitation and health, provide evidence-informed recommendations, and offer guidance for international, national and local sanitation policies and programme actions. The guidelines also articulate and support the role of […]
"Adequate water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH) services in health-care facilities, with waste management and environmental cleaning, are fundamental to ensuring high-quality care, safe maternal and child health services, infection prevention and control, and occupational health of health workers. In the light of the scarcity of available data and the lack of baseline information in many countries, World Health Assembly resolution WHA72.7 on WASH in health-care facilities […]
Strengthening the resilience of water and sanitation services to climate change is a key priority across the pan-European region. Infrastructure and supporting services are at increasing risk from climate threats, which may compromise the health and well-being of communities. Service providers are actively undertaking measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt infrastructure and management strategies to enhance resilience. Climate change considerations are increasingly being […]
Across low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), the public institutions mandated to provide water and sanitation services in cities—termed in this study as urban local bodies (ULBs) - have limited financial capacity and/or capabilities to provide citywide coverage. The population in unregulated areas, often informal, peri-urban, or low-income settlements, are typically covered, informally, by small local providers (SLPs), who are often not officially recognized or regulated. This […]
In low- and middle-income country (LMIC) contexts such as Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, between 44% to 51% of urban populations are unserved by piped water and 72% to 84% lack sewered connections1,2,3,4,5. A significant proportion of this population is likely served by small, local providers (SLPs). Despite the ubiquity of SLPs, existing programs and studies largely ignore the impacts these stakeholders have on service […]
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 […]
Dialogue forum organised by WASH United and the German WASH Network. A range of German stakeholders came together to discuss and share experiences on how to make Menstrual Health and Hygiene an issue on a global level.
The practical guidelines for designing climate-resilient sanitation projects provide a framework for developing projects that address sanitation and climate change, including adaptation and mitigation strategies. It supports governments and development partners seeking Green Climate Fund (GCF) funding for climate resilient sanitation services, which can better cope with and be restored after climate events, while reducing carbon emissions. They mean healthier populations and ecosystems, and contribute […]
In the sector of wastewater management and sustainable sanitation, the practice of urine separation and valorisation can offer reuse water and nutrients for crop production. However, the effective realization of urine separation necessitates the concurrent development of urine treatment systems. While membrane filtration techniques have been employed to concentrate urine, these options are unable to concentrate urine beyond a certain threshold. This limitation underscores the […]
