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).
