Water, Sanitation and Hygiene - WASH Program
The support to the UN-led WASH programme was integral part of the health domain of the previous Cooperation Strategy of Switzerland in Tanzania (2011-2014), due to its focus on establishing better sanitation conditions, thus preventing infections due to poor hygiene conditions. SDC/OSA has also taken the strategic decision to improve and strengthen the cooperation with multilateral organisations, in particular in their aligned planning, budgeting, implementation and monitoring of operations, along the One UN principles, in SDC’s priority countries. Overall goal: Focus on school WASH, household sanitation and hygiene and emergency WASH, for scaled-up and coordinated delivery of evidence-based WASH interventions, to accelerate child survival, education and development.
