In emergencies, safe drinking water is a priority to prevent disease. Chlorine is often used to treat drinking water, as it inactivates most bacteria and viruses that cause diarrheal disease and the remaining free chlorine residual (FCR) provides protection against recontamination in storage. For effective treatment, water should be dosed with enough chlorine to ensure that FCR is maintained for the length of storage time in the household. At the same time, levels high enough to exceed taste and odor acceptability thresholds should be avoided.
Learning Event: Building Resilient WASH Systems in Fragile Contexts by the Global WASH Cluster & German WASH Network & UNICEF.
The German WASH Network together with UNICEF and with funding of the Federal Foreign Office of Germany will host a learning event and working meeting in Geneva, December 12-13, 2019. This mix will help contribute to the general objectives: the onboarding of new stakeholders and an alignment in understanding between actors from the humanitarian and development arenas to create process outcomes of a higher quality.
The Elrha WASH Evidence Challenge is now open!
Elrha is looking for robust research studies that generate practical, comparative evidence around its Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) innovations and making £950,000 available to help the strongest WASH innovations--that have successfully carried out small pilots--to adapt, improve, and begin their journey to scale.
Specific objectives of this WASH Debate are to learn about the following:
- Understand how WASH systems can be developed and strengthened in fragile contexts
- Explore the extent to which external programmes should focus on strengthening the state rather than civil society organisations in WASH
- Exchange lessons learned on the provision of WASH services between NGO staff, government policy officers and experts working in fragile contexts
