E-debates on WASH in Schools
Three e-debates organised in 2012 around the theme of WASH in Schools.
External funding for WASH in Schools does not necessarily undermine national & local commitment
18 Oct 12
A narrow majority of participants in the second e-debate did not think that external funding for WASH in Schools undermines national and local commitment. There were some interesting points that came out and the discussion ended with a score of seven that agreed that external funding for WASH in Schools undermines national and local commitment, while eight disagreed with the statement.
The JMP Post-2015 indicators on WASH in schools are a step in the right direction
25 Sep 12
The JMP Post-2015 Working Groups have proposed targets and indicators for WASH in schools to be included in future global monitoring of water, sanitation and hygiene. Have they got it right or should they start again from scratch? Overall, most participants in an e-debate on this topic think that they did get it right, but that the indicators still needed refining to make them really useful and easy to monitor.
Are the post-MDG indicators a step in the right direction?

This question is the first topic for discussion in a series of three WASH in Schools e-debates scheduled for the coming months. The e-debates will take place in the first week of September, October and November 2012 and will focus specifically on WASH in Schools issues. The topics are inspired by questions asked during the implementation of the SWASH+ Project, an action-research school WASH project in Kenya.
