Integrating Gender Equality into Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Projects: Guidance for NGOs and Implementing Partners (2022)

The Guidance: Integrating gender equality into water, sanitation and hygiene projects aims to help NGOs and implementing partners successfully transform their strategic commitments on community WASH and gender equality into integrated projects.

Primary Functions

  • Help implementing partners provide better, more sustainable WASH outcomes
  • Offer NGOs a clearer pathway to gender equality and women’s empowerment through WASH

Detailed Description

The Guidance: Integrating gender equality into water, sanitation and hygiene projects aims to help companies successfully transform their strategic commitments on community WASH and gender equality into integrated projects resulting in:

  • Better, more sustainable WASH outcomes
  • A clearer pathway to gender equality and women’s empowerment

While this ambition to integrate gender equality into community WASH is not new, this guidance reflects a clear shift in intent and systematic approach to gender in WASH project design, moving commitments to concrete outcomes.

The guidance is split into two documents:

  • One aimed at Corporates outlining the WHY and some key principles for developing integrated WASH and gender projects
  • One aimed at NGOs and implementing partners outlining the HOW

This document is the latter.
