In 2007 to 2008, the Consortium established a coordination team, board structure, and working groups, increased funding, strengthened relations with government, improved coordination of WASH activities between central and county levels, involved and supported local NGOs and contractors, and increased access to water and sanitation.

About the author

The Liberian WASH Coalition began in 2008. It lobbies the government and donors for policy change and financial support for WASH. Alongside, the coalition works to educate and mobilize the public around WASH issues. The coalition organized five WASH forums in 2009 to raise awareness of the issues, and foster partnerships between civil society, community members, and government officials.
