  • WASH in Schools Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Is What Is Important for Good Health
    WASH in Schools Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) is What is important for good health. Schools take simple, inexpensive steps to improve WASH WASH in facilities at their school, and healthy hygiene habits are taught, practised and CASE STUDY Schools? integrated into daily school routines. Wash in Schools In this project Live & Learn worked with schools on a bottom-up approach that demonstrates the impact of WASH in Schools on improved learning and student well-being. Live & Learn uses an adapted the UNICEF 3-Star Schools and Bottleneck Analysis approach. Improving health and education of Bottleneck analysis assumes that WASH in Schools problems can be conceptualized as a type of service delivery chain. The bottleneck is a point where services are restricted. Schools are children in Vanuatu provided with tools and skills to critically assess and act to improve their WASH services. The simplified bottom-up approach to collecting and analysing evidence for WASH at a school level implemented by L&L staff with partner schools lead to school WASH Committees establish plans to Live & Learn ran a successful four-year Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Schools improve toilets and hand-washing facilities in schools, improve teacher-led hygiene promotion in program in six urban schools, benefiting over 6000 students.

  • The Situation of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Schools in the Pan-European Region
    The situation of water, sanitation and hygiene in schools in the pan-European region By Valentina Grossi, Emanuel Klimschak, Andrea Rechenburg, Enkhtsetseg Shinee and Oliver Schmoll Abstract Adequate access to water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH) is every human’s and child’s right. Ensuring WASH accessibility in schools is encompassed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and is a priority area under the Protocol on Water and Health to the 1992 Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes. This publication summarizes the status of WASH in schools in the pan-European region. Available evidence was retrieved from scientific literature, national and international surveys and a desk review of case studies. The data show general progress in WASH policies and targets, but a concurrent lack of translation of this progress into efficient improvement of WASH in schools. Gaps and challenges are found as a result of non-comprehensive standards, inefficient coordination and inadequate surveillance and monitoring indicators. Further, neglected disparities and inequalities are observed through the region. WASH conditions do not reflect policies’ aspirations and are not adequate to pupils’ needs, affecting their health, well-being and performance at school. The main challenges across the region are related in particular to inadequate cleanliness and provision of consumables, as well as maintenance of sanitation facilities and accessibility to safe drinking-water. Policy-making needs to be supported
