A healthy water sector in a country is a predictor for high GDP, lower poverty rates and – not surprisingly – lower child mortality.
The UN came up with a holistic view on the problem – clean water sources without the presence of proper sanitation infrastructure won’t stay clean for long; proper sanitation without understanding basic hygiene won’t fly either. In comes the notion of WASH – an acronym for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene.
In today’s episode we delve into the world of WASH and talk about the challenges – both practical and financial.
