Linking WASH & Nutrition – A Roadmap towards Better Health

ACF and GIZ invite you to take part in the 7th Thematic Discussion, taking place from Wednesday, 30th March until 13th April 2016

 

1. Intro

Linking water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) and nutrition has globally gained momentum. Nationalpolicies and development partners’ strategies in numerous countries already acknowledge the importance of adequate WASH conditions for achieving good nutritional status and call for WASH interventions to be scaled up along with nutrition actions. Beyond that, organisations campaign internationally for better sector collaboration. Building on ideas of the Bonn WASH Nutrition Forum in November 2015, this thematic discussion aims at continuing the dialog between the WASH sector and nutritionists. Over the course of two weeks, professionals from Action Contre La Faim (ACF), CARE, the German Toilet Organisation (GTO) and WaterAid will provide expertise for several of the complex facets at the sectoral interface.
