about us projects IYS 2008 join us! WASH coalition HWTS Network
 
          
WASH Philippines is a loose coalition of organizations and individuals working for the achievement of the local Millennium Development Goals (MDG) targets for water supply and sanitation.  Currently led by PCWS, WASH Philippines works with national policy makers as well as with the poorest communities.  The WASH advocacy materials of the diverse members call for action, pointing out that although access to water and sanitation is already high in terms of national figures, there are still poverty stricken rural and urban areas, small island communities, remote and war-torn villages that remain neglected in terms of sanitation and water supply provision.  At the national policy level, WASH Philippines provides technical inputs and advice based from experiences in field project implementation.  WASH Philippines is a partner of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC).
