Study Session 4  Inclusive WASH Facilities

Introduction

In Study Sessions 1 and 2 you were introduced to the challenges facing people with disabilities and the barriers to inclusion. In Study Session 3 you also learned about the different WASH issues affecting women. You may recall from Study Session 1 that many national policies and programmes state that services should be available ‘for all’ without going into further detail about how this could be achieved. In this study session, we look more closely at practical matters and how to make WASH facilities inclusive for all.

You will learn about the features of appropriate inclusive WASH facilities for households and how to assess the accessibility and safety of existing facilities. The study session concludes with an outline of the process for planning and implementing inclusive WASH.
