WASH-RCNN supports learning, sharing and collaboration in Nepal

Information management and proper mechanisms for linking the grassroots to the policy making level in Nepal are lacking. However, key WASH sector stakeholders including government agree that sharing about WASH policies, technological options and good practices among stakeholders is essential for effective planning to achieve the targets of Sanitation and Water for All. Water, Sanitation and Hygiene-Resource Centre Network Nepal (WASH-RCNN) has been working to improve information sharing, collaboration and learning in the sector.

The network brings together information/knowledge and has created regular learning and sharing platforms at central and decentralized levels. With others, such as the Department of Water Supply and Sewerage, UNICEF, WHO, SNV Nepal, the network is working to establish decentralised WASH resource centres. Recently, the Director General of the Department of Water Supply and Sewerage advocated for WASH Resource Centres in all administrative regions of Nepal.
 
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene-Resource Centre Network Nepal (WASH-RCNN) consolidates information and knowledge and has created regular learning and sharing platforms for sector stakeholders both at central and decentralized levels. The WASH-RCNN plans to continue using its capacity and potential to engage in knowledge sharing activities and produce information products. Partnership with media professionals will also be useful in highlighting gaps and challenges in the sector and reaching a wider audience.
