Operation and Maintenance of WASH Infrastructure Webinar Series

This four-part series will share lessons learned from USAID partners focusing on innovative advances in approaches to operation and maintenance (O&M) of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure. Speakers will discuss their program’s approaches to engineering, environmental, financial, and political-economy challenges, and aim to draw out important lessons that are more widely applicable. During this webinar series, attendees will learn more about:

• Recent initiatives, advances, and thinking around community-managed WASH infrastructure and O&M
• Innovative, locally-developed and sustainable solutions and new O&M resources such as guidelines and training courses
• The ways in which O&M links with interventions focused on resilience, food security and integrated water resource management (IWRM)
• Designing O&M systems that consider its impacts on women and youth
