IWMI’s research found that farmers who received longer training in water governance and management tended to participate more actively in their WUAs than farmers who were trained over relatively short periods of time.

A holistic response to MHM is lacking. Despite the importance and omnipresent issue of MHM in any emergency context, and the potential for cross‑sectoral links of MHM within the cluster system, there is a lack of policy and agency guidelines to support these sectors to conduct a holistic MHM response
NELIS, T. (2018): Menstrual Hygiene Management in Humanitarian Emergencies. Operational Practice Paper 3. In: Humanitarian Learning Centre: URL [Accessed: 13.09.2018]There is much anecdotal evidence related to the importance of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) in schools for girls' educational progression, yet a lack of comprehensive quantitative studies on linkages between WASH and educational indicators disaggregated by gender and grade. This paper aims to fill that gap by testing the hypothesis that the presence of water and sanitation facilities in schools can increase female-to-male enrolment ratios and reduce repetition and drop-out-ratios for girls, especially at ages when they menstruate. Quantitative analyses were undertaken of Education Management Information System (EMIS) data collected from over 10,000 schools in Zambia, to explore relationships between WASH facility provision in schools and enrolment, repetition and drop-out ratios disaggregated by gender and grade. Results indicated that improved sanitation provision in schools was correlated with high female-to-male enrolment ratios, and reduced repetition and drop-out ratios, especially for girls.
