National and Provincial Strategy for WASH in Schools

Objective:

National and Provincial Strategy for WASH in Schools 

About Project 
The WASH in Schools (WinS) program is focused on ensuring that schools provide safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities to create a healthy learning environment for children. Despite efforts across Pakistan, a significant number of schools lack basic WASH services, and existing facilities often suffer from poor maintenance. Provincial initiatives have been fragmented due to the absence of a unified strategic framework, leading to inconsistent standards and practices. To address these challenges, a federal consultative process in 2015 led to the development of draft provincial WinS strategies aimed at overcoming existing bottlenecks and creating actionable plans. The current national and Provincial strategy development seeks to finalize these strategies and obtain their approval to enable more coordinated and sustainable WASH interventions in schools across the country.
