KIWASH will combine nutrition programming with improved access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). KIWASH aims to enable more than one million Kenyans across nine counties to gain access to improved WASH services and increase access to irrigation and nutrition services.

 

As county governments take on responsibility for investment in and oversight of service delivery to keep their constituents healthy—and their economies thriving— great opportunities arise to expand service delivery through public-private partnerships bringing new actors into the WASH sector.

KIWASH will partner with water and sanitation providers to develop bankable business plans, improve operations, and facilitate access to financing. In parallel, behavior-change communications linked to Community-Led Total Sanitation and hygiene will stimulate demand for improved household sanitation, hygiene, and nutrition.
