The Strategic Framework is grounded in a core objective: to provide sustainable WASH service delivery both now and into the future. The emphasis is on climate resilient development, including strengthening the resilience of WASH systems, and on investments to manage current and long-term climate variability. The Framework is particularly relevant to those working with WASH service provision in areas vulnerable to climate hazards and variability.
The Strategic Framework consists of 4 quadrants which provide guidance on how to ensure resilient WASH services. Resilient WASH programming helps ensure that WASH infrastructure and services are sustainable and resilient to climate related risks; and WASH contributes to building community resilience to climate change.
