Learning and Resources
Water for Women supported improved health, gender equality and well-being in Asian and Pacific communities through climate-resilient, socially inclusive and sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) projects and research. Continual reflection, collaborative learning, knowledge creation and exchange were important elements of Water for Women which, combined with effective programming, supported partners to lead practice globally and raise the bar in terms of gender equitable, disability and socially inclusive (GEDSI) WASH research, analysis, design and program delivery.
Knowledge and learning was central to Water for Women and a key priority of all partners, which positioned the Fund as an important contributor to global knowledge development and sharing in climate-resilient inclusive WASH. Fund generated evidence, centred on innovative and sustainable GEDSI WASH, supported partners to program for long-term impact. It also provided the basis to influence sector-wide WASH policy and practice globally.
Guiding partners’ collaborative knowledge and learning was Water for Women's Learning Agenda, which provided a focused framework for knowledge and learning priorities to support climate-resilient, inclusive WASH policy and practice for the long term.
As part of a dedicated focus on knowledge and learning, resources, tools, learning and insights developed by Water for Women and partners were shared widely.
Some ways in which sharing and learning was encouraged included:
A dynamic and interactive framework that linked Fund partners and allowed them to share and learn from one another. The Learning Agenda promoted a shared interest in collaborative knowledge development and learning on climate-resilient, sustainable and inclusive WASH between all partners.
A place where the Fund Coordinator and those working on Water for Women projects and in the global WASH sector shared their experience, challenges and innovative solutions.
