Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Partnerships and Learning for Sustainability (WASHPaLS)
WASHPaLS aims to reduce morbidity and mortality in children under 5 by ensuring that programming employs high-impact, evidence-based environmental health and water supply, sanitation, and hygiene interventions. The program identifies best practices for the delivery of WASH services and sustained behavior change that is necessary to eliminate open defecation and move communities up the sanitation ladder.
