Why invest in WASH services? 25% of the disease burden in children under-5 could be prevented through reducing environmental risks. Diarrhoeal diseases cause about 10% of all deaths of children under 5 In 18 Africa countries inadequate sanitation alone costs USD 5.5 billion in economic losses equivalent to between 1% and 2.5% of GDP $1 invested in water brings an economic return of $3.3. $1 invested in sanitation brings an economic return of $2.9. The benefits are greatest when investing in basic services and for the poorest.
Key questions to be considered in policy and funding strategies WASH SDGS require innovation (what are you trying to do differently?) WASH SDGs requires an increasing fiscal space (where will the money come from? Existing resources have to be used effectively (How are VFM approaches being applied?) Unless directly addressed, inequalities will not be eliminated (what the targeting mechanisms?) Changing behaviour and social norms are critical (How is this being done?) Monitoring of WASH projects is critical ( Are projects delivering on agreed outcomes?
