Safe water, sanitation, and hygiene are frontline life-savers in any crisis, preventing disease and protecting dignity — but delivering WASH at scale, fast, and to standard is technically and operationally demanding. This advanced programme equips senior practitioners to design, lead, and coordinate quality WASH response across the phases of an emergency.
Designed for an international audience from officer to director level, the programme advances beyond basics to water supply and treatment at scale, excreta and environmental management, hygiene and behaviour change, WASH in disease outbreaks, and WASH coordination. Participants learn to lead WASH response that meets minimum standards and adapts to complex, evolving needs.
