Supportive Policies

Supportive policy and frameworks guide implementation.

The programme works closely with the Ministries of Education in the development of national WASH in Schools policies and their implementation guidelines.

  • Supporting WASH in Schools (WinS) and school health policy development facilitates anchoring and focusing implementation processes and key interventions
  • Supporting the development of implementation guidelines allows for practical application of policies
  • Developing and locally contextualizing the WinS Three Star Approach (UNICEF/GIZ 2013) – an integrated monitoring and recognition system, that encourages stepwise improvements - proved invaluable to illustrate for countries in the region, how they could advance WinS with existing resources and structures
