The USAID Sustainable WASH Systems Learning Partnership (SWS) prepared this special issue of Water Currents focusing on systems approaches, which seek to understand the complexity, interactions, and interdependencies between actors and factors involved in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Actions are implemented based on this understanding and have the flexibility to adapt to feedback and changing conditions.

This issue contains links to 19 reports, studies and other resources on the systems approach.
