WASH Agenda for Change
This paper builds on related work in the sector on WASH in fragile contexts and on nexus
issues and seeks to add value through applying a systems lens. It is based on the experience
of the authors and a number of actors working in fragile contexts, with a mixture of theory and
practical case study examples and reflections from 8 INGOs and UNHCR, augmented by a review
of relevant sector literature. It is a discussion and practice paper seeking to deepen sector
thinking and dialogue on applying WASH systems approaches in fragile contexts, and more
broadly in integrating aspects of resilience into systems thinking.
