Under our collaborative Learning Agenda 2023-24, drawing on learnings from the implementation of climate-resilient and inclusive WASH projects and research across Asia–Pacific, partners sought to explore this fundamental learning question through a series of dedicated initiatives.
Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) is integral to supporting community climate resilience that ensures no one is left behind. Inclusive, climate-resilient WASH goes beyond infrastructure to ensure that solutions meet the needs of the most marginalised and can continue functioning in the face of climate hazards. Accessing climate adaptation financing for WASH projects has been a challenge for civil society organisations (CSOs) due to a […]

This learning resource summarises a range of indicators that WASH service authorities and their civil society organisations (CSOs) can use to monitor the key risks of six climate hazards to household WASH access. Specifically, the indicators pertain to changes in the natural or built environment that may be outside the sphere of control of a WASH program.
Accessing climate adaptation financing for WASH projects has been a challenge for civil society organisations due to a number of procedural, design and systemic barriers. To address this challenge, a consortium of Water for Women partners developed a series of briefs on climate finance for the WASH sector in Asia and the Pacific. The Pacific regional brief is available along with five country-specific briefs.
