Goal action plan

CARE believes that water and sanitation services at domestic and institutional levels, and access to hygiene knowledge and products, underpins dignity, health and well-being for all -but is particularly important for women and girls and marginalized groups, and during humanitarian emergencies. We will ensure sustainable services through strategies that include strengthening WASH governance, policy, and monitoring at national, district, and community levels; strengthening capacities of service providers, including small-medium enterprises and entrepreneurs to deliver services; facilitating WASH demand and addressing social and gender norms that influence WASH behaviors, including menstrual hygiene management; and increasing leadership of women, girls, and the most marginalized in WASH decision-making.
