Drinking Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Schools - SDG Baseline Report & The Philippine Case Study
  • Tom Slaymaker and Christine Chatterly, WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene.
  • Abram Department of Education, Republic of the Philippines & GIZ
What are the key messages in the Global Baseline Report on Drinking Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Schools? How far are countries from meeting basic WASH services in schools that are child-, gender and disability- sensitive? What actions are countries taking to meet basic WASH services for all learners and reduce inequalities, as part of their commitment to the Sustainable Development Goal on Education (Goal 4)?

Commemorating World Toilet Day 2018 and its call for Safe Toilets by 2030, we welcome the WHO/ UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene and the Department of Education & GIZ in the Republic of the Philippines to answer these questions and share recommendations for improving school water, sanitation and hygiene.
To access the webinar on the day of the session, this Participants Link will be active about 15 minutes before the start of webinar.
