A collaborative initiative from ACF, the IRC and Oxfam, the Markets and WaSH Learning Event was the Markets in Crises Community of Practice's third in-person learning event and the first to focus on the WaSH sector. Held just before the Global WaSH Cluster’s (GWC) annual meeting, the event was well attended, with 45 participants representing local and international NGOs, the private sector, donors and UN agencies.
The objective of this event was for the WaSH sector to take stock of its progress to date in the adoption of market-based approaches and to identify opportunities to expand such initiatives. Presentations on the range of tools and approaches available were followed by discussions on guidance needs, M&E and what’s needed to move the markets agenda forward in the WaSH sector. Following the event, the GWC voted to form a Technical Working Group (TWiG) to advance the further integration of market-based programming into the WASH sector.
