Systems Strengthening for Inclusive WASH learning event opened today in Nepal
From today through to 5 December, Nepal is hosting the first Water for Women Fund Regional Learning Event in South Asia - ‘Systems strengthening for inclusive WASH - leaving no one behind’. The Event is being jointly convened by SNV in Nepal and the Australian Government’s AU$110.6 million flagship Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) program, the Water for Women Fund. His Excellency Peter Budd, Australian Ambassador to Nepal and Ms Meena Shrestha, Deputy Director General, Department of Water Supply and Sewerage Management will jointly open the Event. It takes place two months after Nepal was declared open defecation free (ODF) by the Prime Minister of Nepal, Honourable KP Sharma Oli.
The Water for Women Fund is pleased to be working with SNV as one of its Fund Partners to improve access to WASH services for all. Ms Renee Paxton, from the Australian Government said, “This Learning Event focuses on probably the single most important thing to achieve inclusive WASH services that stand the test of time, that is, by strengthening systems.”
Alison Baker, the Water for Women Fund Manager, emphasised, “Through the Fund, we are raising the bar on gender and social inclusion. Fund partners are committed to improving access to appropriate WASH services for those with a disability, sexual and gender minorities, and other marginalized communities.”
The Water for Women Fund is Australia’s flagship Water, Sanitation and Hygiene aid program supporting improved health, equality and wellbeing in Asian and Pacific communities through socially inclusive and sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) Projects. Water for Women is delivering 18 WASH projects in 15 countries and 11 research projects over five years (2018-2022). The Fund supports regular knowledge and learning events with Fund partners to facilitate the cross-fertilisation of ideas and strategies.
