Resilient inclusive WASH systems (RES-WASH) Nepal
This research aims to improve local expertise on climate resilient, inclusive, and sustainable Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) by producing evidence-based data and information, and ensuring their outreach, accessibility and use by local stakeholders, especially local governments in Dailekh and Sarlahi districts. This evidence and knowledge base will be used to plan, design, and implement approaches to strengthening capacity of key local actors, who can influence the planning, design, and delivery of more inclusive and climate resilient WASH. The specific objectives are:
- To assess vulnerability of WASH infrastructure and facilities from climatic and non-climatic hazards such as landslides.
- To identify the gendered and social vulnerabilities related to WASH and climate change experienced by diverse groups of women, girls, persons with disabilities and marginalized communities.
- To improve knowledge and capacity for effective WASH systems, programs and institutional mechanisms that are more inclusive and climate resilient.
