When water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities in schools are inadequate and hygiene practices are lacking, government cannot fulfill their mandate to take care of the learners under their custody. Providing access to resilient WASH services in schools delivers on children’s rights, ensures equitable access to quality education, helps create conductive learning environments, and promotes health and well-being. In order to make WASH services in schools resilient, three critical questions
- How to develop a shared understanding of the concept of climate action and resilience in relation to WASH and schools?
- How to develop strategies and practical concepts for feasible and scalable models which the education sector can implement at all levels of education?
- How to strengthen cross-sectoral coordination between WASH, education and climate stakeholders?
In this session, we will explore the three structural levels of the education governance, as they are enabled by the different steps involved in climate resilient WASH in schools, following the forthcoming Climate Resilient WASH in Schools Framework by UNICEF. The country’s experiences will express the different steps of the framework and take into account the three critical questions.
