Dear all,

Here is an innovative concept, which should hopefully be of interest to all of us who are busy reflecting upon approaches to enhance the sustainability of school-based interventions in a context evolving towards greater programmatic integration (WASH, Health, Nutrition, Education…). You can learn about this concept by playing the short video below. The introduction goes as follows:

“Integration of WASH-Health-Nutrition-Education efforts raises new hopes. Yet how to make it happen successfully in school-based programmes remains unclear. The novel approach presented here suggests a practical way to achieve this objective. It builds upon existing practices and addresses the most fundamental challenges experienced by practitioners on the ground: a lack of effective incentive and monitoring mechanisms to boost stakeholders’ accountability. The approach, presented here in a relatively generic fashion and with greater emphasis put on WASH (water sanitation & hygiene), can be tailored to different context and objectives.”

Best wishes, and let us get in touch if you find this interesting.

PS: Whilst this is not a tool yet, it could well become one after proof of concept phase.In all cases, there are presumably some useful principles which can inform other tools.
