WORKSHOP 3: How-to Series: Leveraging the Links between Water, Sanitation, Hygiene, and Health

However, the need for sanitation is about individual well-being and public health, which in turn has broad economic benefits. For those benefits to accrue, the construction and delivery of sanitation infrastructure are not sufficient; it must be used hygienically and considered in broader water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) context.
