Hintergrund |
Investments in sanitation, hygiene and menstrual health are of key importance for the achievement of the SDGs. The primary sector is sanitation and hygiene (SDG 6.2) with strong inputs to health, nutrition, education, gender equity, economic growth and climate resilience. Safe, secure and sustainably managed sanitation, handwashing and menstrual hygiene facilities keep children, particularly girls, in school, people in jobs, and communities- and economies – healthy and thriving. Donor support for investments in sanitation, hygiene and menstrual health often followed a classical programm logic which - as many evaluations show – have often not realised the sustainibility originally planned. The multi-donor UN Sanitation and Hygiene Fund (SHF) operates in a new, catalytical and sustainable way. |
Ziele | By 2030 achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations. |
Zielgruppen |
SHF recognizes that massive inequalities exist between those who have access to sanitation, hygiene and MHH and those who do not, and that marginalized and vulnerable populations, women and girls are disproportionately affected. The Fund targets countries and populations that have a high sanitation and hygiene burden, yet the least ability to respond. The Fund invests in reducing these inequalities for the vulnerable population groups most left behind and marginalized, women and girls. In early 2022, SHF started engagement with governments and sector partners in Benin, Burkina Faso, Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Uganda. |
