WASH in Humanitarian Contexts
Emergencies, both natural and human-made, have increased globally in recent years. Providing adequate WASH services throughout a crisis, from its onset to long-term recovery, is vital to meet basic needs and protect human and environmental health. SESP leads projects supporting the humanitarian WASH sector. SESP coordinates backstopping requests and works closely with other research groups at Sandec and at Eawag.
