Join us at the Development Research Conference (DevRes) to learn about the latest research evidence on gender equality and social inclusion outcomes of WASH interventions. The presentation will be based on insights from a systematic mapping of research evidence as part of the project on ‘Advancing evaluation of gender and social equality outcomes in WASH.’

Safely managed water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services are viewed as fundamental for human wellbeing, enabling a range of positive outcomes related to health, education, livelihoods, dignity, safety, and gender equality. Awareness of the ways WASH can address inequalities has resulted in the implementation of WASH interventions that include mainstreaming of gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) considerations. Despite the wide range of GESI outcomes thought to be associated with WASH interventions, evaluation of this evidence is scattered across different sources.
To support the design, implementation, and evaluation of WASH interventions and ensure they effectively address inequalities, this presentation will summarize findings of a review aimed to collate and describe the latest research evidence on gender equality and social inclusion outcomes of WASH interventions.
This online presentation will take place during session: T3.1 ‘Sustainable water governance and gender inequality’. Register below to attend.
The Development Research Conference (DevRes) aims to promote networking and collaboration between researchers, public agencies, policy makers, organisations and practitioners, to find solutions for poverty and develop strategies for the future of sustainable development.
The DevRes conference will be held on August 22-24, both online and on-site and is hosted by GlobeLife, a joint initiative of Uppsala University and Karolinska Institutet. View the full program on the DevRes website.
