Challenges and Opportunities in IFRC WASH Programs in West and Central Africa
Disparities and complexities persist in IFRC WASH programs in West and Central Africa, with challenges such as volatile working environments, unstable National Societies structures, and limited capacity. Opportunities include networking with key institutions and sector leads, as well as the need for a rethinking of Resource Mobilization in the WASH sector to ensure sustainability and long-term projects. Funding streams and HR mapping databases also play crucial roles in advancing these programs.
