WASH in schools

Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in schools in Vanuatu has the opportunity to improve children’s health, increase attendance and performance at school and address gender and social inequalities. The WASH in schools – Call to Action workshop presented a snapshot of WASH in Schools in Vanuatu, investigated the road to improvement and was the first step in engaging relevant stakeholders through a Call to Action. Participation at this workshop included stakeholders from MoET (including national, provincial and school level staff), school administration, Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources, Ministry of Health, Public Works Department, relevant NGOs, UNICEF and donor partners.
