The USAID/West Africa WASH Coordinating Secretariat is organizing as part of the 2016 UNC Water and Health Conference, a side event on: “Increasing access to water services: Things we have learned and things we would do differently!”

The side event aims to stimulate interest in the WASH sector, demonstrate the soundness of knowledge management and information sharing in WASH, and highlight the importance of working collaboratively with the beneficiaries at each step of WASH projects and programs. Such approach is more likely to ensure sustainability, in that it will urge the beneficiaries to take ownership of WASH activities after projects and programs have closed out.
