O Relatório sobre a Nutrição Mundial, um mecanismo independente de responsabilização voltado para o progresso e a ação em prol da nutrição, convoca todas as partes interessadas a assumir compromissos SMART de ação em prol da nutrição — isto é, compromissos específicos, mensuráveis, realizáveis, relevantes e com prazo definido.

Summary of a project to address open defecation in Nepal

The top two killer diseases in the low-income countries is due to exposed risks of Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). Strengthening Water Sanitation and Hygiene Treasuring Health (SWASHTHA) adopted an integrated approach to reduce the health risks due to IAP and WASH. A combination of three approaches - Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), Household Centred Environmental Sanitation (HCES) and School Led Total Sanitation (SLTS) was applied for sustainable promotion of IAP and WASH interventions.

This report has two broad objectives: (a) to summarize the understanding of climate change projections and scenarios, and the impacts climate change may have on water resources, and water supply, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and South Asia and (b) to discuss the implications of the above for policy and practice at a range of levels, from funding for climate change adaptation at an international level, to the planning and implementation of WASH interventions at a community level.

Lack of basic sanitation and safe water is a major issue for women and girls who live in poor and overcrowded areas. This joint undertaking by the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) and the Water, Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) collects and analyses noteworthy examples that illustrate the impact of women on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) activities, in order to show its potential for transformative change.

The aim of the review is to understand how technologies have been developed, how they were introduced and whether they have gone to scale and to start to explore the reasons why they were successful or not. The review is focused on technologies used in Africa in the water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector for long-term development (although some technologies are also used and have even been developed for emergency relief purposes).
