Inclusive design resources for WASH infrastructure

This toolkit and policy brief are designed for practitioners, policy makers, donors and government officials in the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) space to design and deliver more inclusive and fairer water and sanitation projects and services in urban informal settlements around the world.

These evidence-based resources are produced with support from the Australian Government’s Water for Women fund.
