This course equips WASH professionals to strengthen water governance structures and design sustainable water, sanitation, and hygiene services that communities can manage and maintain over time.
WASH infrastructure failures often stem less from technical problems than from weak governance: water committees that don't function, communities unwilling to maintain systems, or utility staff without accountability. This five-day course teaches WASH professionals to design and strengthen governance structures alongside infrastructure: building functional water committees, engaging communities in water system planning and management, establishing sustainable financing systems, and connecting water services to broader health and sanitation objectives. Participants examine case studies of WASH programs that succeeded and failed based on governance choices.
Practical sessions include analyzing water system governance structures, designing community engagement strategies, and developing a governance improvement plan. Participants leave with practical tools to strengthen governance and ensure the sustainability of WASH systems and services.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Day 1: Designing Water Committee Governance
Day 2: Community Engagement in Water Planning
Day 3: Sustainable Financing for Water Services
Day 4: Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion in Context
Day 5: Equity, Inclusion and Sustainability Planning
This course focuses specifically on the governance structures that determine whether WASH services keep working after the project ends.
Participants who complete the five days receive a Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy, confirming their grounding in WASH governance and sustainability practice.
