WASH

Globally, still more than 2 billion people lack safely managed drinking water, and around 3.5 billion lack safe sanitation infrastructure. Since in many countries water scarcity is more an issue of power, poverty and inequality rather than of physical availability, SDC does not only advocate for sustainable WASH services based on the human rights to water and sanitation, it also promotes policy dialogue, a fair water governance, and innovative partnerships to ensure vulnerable people - in particular women and girls – are not left behind.
