The WAI stands for a shift from the dominant hardware-construction approach, often used by others, towards WASH sector development by working on three pillars: establishing a functioning market, strengthening the public sector, and empowering & organising citizens. Our innovative approach will not only sustain after our programmes stop, it will also accelerate and meet the needs of a growing population. 1. To diversify and expand the WASH Alliance Funding base. 2. To continue accelerating the access and use of sustainable WASH services in our operational areas. 3. To learn and innovate on sustainability & acceleration, within which local finance, environmental approaches and social inclusion and gender receive special attention.
