| Abstract | This document provides guidelines for the implementation of WASH systems-strengthening at the woreda/district level. The guidelines are based on the woreda-wide approach (WWA), which is a proven model for improving WASH systems at the local level. The guidelines provide an overview of the woreda-wide approach and the principles that underpin it and a step-by-step guide on how to implement the approach. This document is primarily for Agenda for Change members, government bodies, and other organizations involved in WASH systems change. For the guidelines to be effective, all stakeholders need to agree and buy into them. |
