Participation of All Stakeholders

Participation of all stakeholders is required to ensure that gender and poverty issues are addressed and to ensure access to sustainable facilities.

To foster representative and informed participation by all stakeholders, school hygiene, sanitation, and water projects should adhere to the following principles:

Ensure stakeholder participation in decisionmaking and management through appropriate project rules, incentives, and social intermediation.
Ensure representative and informed participation by all stakeholders, especially girls and women, to ensure that specific gender-based needs are taken into account.
Set rules to ensure that target schools located in poorer, more isolated communities can be reached
Set rules to ensure that vulnerable groups such as children with disabilities and children from minority groups will benefit from hygiene, sanitation and water in schools project interventions.
Facilitate stakeholder participation in program design and evaluation.
Include representatives of all stakeholder groups in monitoring and evaluation.
