Hi everyone, 

We are delighted to share our latest Learning Brief, in collaboration with WaterAid Bangladesh, on using participatory ward assessments for climate-induced WASH vulnerabilities . 

If you have any questions or comments, we would love to hear them.

This Learning Brief is intended to provide inspiration to practitioners and WASH experts on how to adapt existing vulnerability assessment tools to integrate climate considerations. This study engaged several stakeholders including climate vulnerable populations, development practitioners, researchers, and local government across Krishnanagar Union under Sathkhira subdistrict, to create evidence-based approaches to address climate induced WASH vulnerabilities in coastal Southwest Bangladesh.

This research sought to answer the following questions:

• What is the current status of WASH facilities in nine wards across in rural southwest Bangladesh?
• How are climatic conditions impacting water, sanitation and hygiene practices?
• What actions can be undertaken by various stakeholders to address climate induced WASH problems?
