BUILDING SKILLS AND CAPACITIES OF WASH PRACTITIONERS

Our programs are designed to empower participants to take action and achieve their goals. We are biased toward action, so our training objectives help participants make positive changes and take proactive steps. Starting with our vision of access to clean and safe water and sanitation, we work backward, breaking down the path into clear milestones. Our training then equips stakeholders with the knowledge and skills they need to reach each one.

We align our training with the external environment so participants can immediately apply their new knowledge. As part of our needs assessment and design, we map existing policies, programs, and funding opportunities to stakeholder roles. When necessary, we also provide technical assistance to ensure the ecosystem is aligned.

We use proven indicators to monitor training quality, knowledge retention, and real-world impact. This continuous monitoring allows us to refine our programs for sustained effectiveness and track stakeholder impact even after training is complete.

We build the capabilities of local individuals and strengthen regional institutions. This ensures training incorporates local context and that ongoing support can be provided independently, without our continuous presence.

We have developed a battery of quality assurance protocols to ensure that every training, no matter who delivers, follows and adheres to a defined standard.
