The new TIDieR-WASH guideline is set to transform how we report and replicate Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene interventions. This comprehensive 14-item checklist, developed by an international team of experts, addresses a critical gap in WASH research and practice. By standardizing reporting across various intervention types, from direct service provision to systems strengthening, it promises to enhance evidence synthesis and policy guidance in the sector. It not only improves transparency in reporting but also facilitates better decision-making for scaling up successful interventions. This could be a significant step towards achieving universal access to clean water and sanitation, a key Sustainable Development Goal.

The fight against #AMR begins with strong #WASH systems. Ahead of #UNGA79, let's commit to safer #water, #sanitation and #wastemanagement in health facilities. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dcCBYkzp

Key facts: Water: In 2022, 2.2 billion still lacked safely managed drinking water, including 115 million people drinking surface water. Sanitation: In 2022, 3.5 billion people still lacked safely managed sanitation, including 419 million who practised open defecation. Hygiene: In 2022, 2 billion still lacked basic hygiene services, including 653 million with no facility at all. Gender: 1.8 billion people still do not have drinking water on-premises, and in two out of three households, women are primarily responsible for water collection.

What is meaning by Sustainable WASH in the development field ? For those new to the development field, it’s essential to understand the critical role of WASH—Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene. These initiatives are vital for public health, reducing disease, and enhancing community well-being. WASH Interventions Include: 1. Water: Providing safe, reliable water supply systems. 2. Sanitation: Constructing and maintaining toilets and sewage systems. 3. Hygiene: Promoting practices like handwashing with soap to prevent diseases. Key WASH Activities: 1. Water Supply: • Build wells and boreholes • Install pipelines • Harvest rainwater 2. Sanitation: • Construct toilets and latrines • Develop sewage systems • Promote community sanitation 3. Hygiene: • Conduct handwashing campaigns • Distribute hygiene kits • Provide hygiene education These efforts ensure access to clean water, proper sanitation, and hygiene, ultimately improving health and quality of life.

Sustainable Development Goal 6 goes beyond drinking water, sanitation and hygiene to also address the quality and sustainability of water resources, which are critical to the survival of people and the planet. One in three people live without sanitation. This is causing unnecessary disease and death. Although huge strides have been made with access to clean drinking water, lack of sanitation is undermining these advances. If we provide affordable equipment and education in hygiene practices, we can stop this senseless suffering and loss of life. #SDG6 #CSR #India

"Five ways to accelerate progress towards safely managed sanitation" In this new blog, we -WaterAid and UNICEF- share reflections from our joint work supporting national governments' shift towards safely managed sanitation for all. 🚽🌍 Executive summary: 1. Safe toilets + safely managed waste = better public health and cleaner environments. 2. Infrastructure needs to be supported by “systems” for sustainable service delivery. 3. Sanitation is a public good, so public finance is essential. 4. Climate resilient sanitation and safely managed sanitation should be pursued together. 5. Data and monitoring systems need to track the greatest risks to human health along the sanitation chain.

A thought provoking piece that reinforces the multidimensionality of sanitation systems. Toilets can be reinvented but remain inaccessible to the billions who have no access to improved toilets. There is a need for a shift from reinventing to rethinking toilets.

SANITATION SOLUTIONS CRISIS: KEY STATISTICS: 3.5 billion lack safely managed sanitation services, and 2.0 billion lacked basic hygiene services in 2022 Over 700 children under 5 die due to unsafe.sanitation, daily. Globally, 1 in 3 schools do not have proper toilets.

Safe drinking-water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) are crucial to human health and well-being. Safe WASH is not only a prerequisite to health, but contributes to livelihoods, school attendance and dignity and helps to create resilient communities living in healthy environments. Drinking unsafe water impairs health through illnesses such as diarrhoea, and untreated excreta contaminates groundwaters and surface waters used for drinking-water, irrigation, bathing and household purposes. This creates a heavy burden on communities. Chemical contamination of water continues to pose a health burden, whether natural in origin such as arsenic and fluoride, or anthropogenic such as nitrate. Safe and sufficient WASH plays a key role in preventing numerous neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) such as trachoma, soil-transmitted helminths and schistosomiasis. However, poor WASH conditions still account for more than one million diarrhoeal deaths every year and constrain effective prevention and management of other diseases including malnutrition, NTDs and cholera. Evidence suggests that improving service levels towards safely managed drinking-water or sanitation such as regulated piped water or connections to sewers with wastewater treatment can dramatically improve health by reducing diarrhoeal disease deaths.
