In recent years, there has been emerging evidence showing the need for integration of WASH and nutrition programmes in order to achieve greater impact (e.g. on reduced stunting and open defecation) in both emergency and development contexts. SDG 2 (End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture) and SDG 6 (Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all) articulate the need for achieving sustainable and optimal WASH and nutrition outcomes.
IDEAL Public Health and Development Consultancy (IPHDC) has planned to conduct a training on synergized WASH and Nutrition programming in order to strengthen capacities of decision-makers and implementers to achieve effective integration of WASH and nutrition specific programmes.
