By Live Lover -


1.       Introduction

SNV is an international capacity development organisation that works in 35 countries in five regions.
In WASH SNV supports initiatives in 9 countries in East and Southern Africa: Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Mozambique, Rwanda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Sudan and Ethiopia.  The role of SNV is: (1) provision of advisory services, (2) Knowledge networking and (3) promotion of evidence-based advocacy.  The WASH programme provides technical and capacity building support to local partners from the public, private and NGO sector with the objective of increasing sustainable and equitable access to water, sanitation and hygiene in rural areas and small towns. The SNV WASH programme work is centred around 4 product areas: (1) Sustainable Sanitation and Hygiene for ALL, (2) Functionality of rural water supply services, (3) WASH in schools and (4) Sustainable water supply in peri-urban areas and small towns.  The WASH programme has its own sector leader and a team of WASH advisors.
