Summary

In its presentation to the WSSCC’s annual planning meeting, the Malawi WASH Coalition explained that the sector was granted little priority – just 3% of the national budget against 10% for health and education. A sector-wide approach was being developed, and a national sanitation policy would establish a national sanitation and hygiene co-ordination unit. Terms of reference for the Coalition had been agreed in principle, and a WASH media network has been set up.

About the author

Established in 2004, the National WASH Coalition engages in policy development, application and introduces monitoring methods such as the water point mapping exercise to the Government. It acts as a loose network for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and individual members, with about 80 registered to date. This includes government departments, international organizations and donor agencies. The Coalition aims to help institutions achieve improved coordination of the Malawi WASH sector and to monitor the country’s progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on water supply and sanitation.
