Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Influencing Climate Resilience Beyond Your Programmes
Q: Thinking about translating climate risks into program design, what role do NGOs and agencies play in making WASH more visible at the national level when it comes to climate policy and climate finance?
NGOs can participate in stakeholder consultations, lead or co-finance cross-sector discussions, and ensure the voices of marginalized communities are heard in policy spaces, helping to align local WASH needs with national policy and financing opportunities.
Building organisational readiness for climate-resilient water and sanitation
Q: What barriers did you encounter and how can others overcome them?
Key barriers include funding silos and bandwidth limitations, but these can be overcome by broadening donor engagement, demonstrating value through learning and impact, and aligning strategy and indicators with climate resilience across both development and humanitarian work.
Building organisational readiness for climate-resilient water and sanitation
Q: What organizational changes did you implement to scale climate resilience?
We merged water resources and WASH under one umbrella, changed job titles to reflect broader competencies, and aligned our portfolio under the broader 'water security' umbrella to enable cross-country replication and more integrated approaches.
Building organisational readiness for climate-resilient water and sanitation
Q: How did your climate resilience journey start and what was the first stepping stone?
It started with a climate vulnerability study in Southern Malawi that highlighted the need to look beyond traditional WASH confines and consider broader water resources and disaster risk reduction, which then shaped our partnership with the University of Bristol and the flagship project approach.
Practical action to strengthen WASH in healthcare facilities featuring Afou Bengaly
Q: How does a systems approach translate into concrete actions on the ground, especially for sustaining improvements?
Concrete actions involve ensuring budget allocations exist for maintenance, assigning clear responsibilities, and formalizing governance structures like a national WASH task force so that projects are sustainable even when individual initiatives end.
