Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Entry points to peacebuilding - Tanja Miškova
Q: What role does the triple nexus play in wash programming?
It provides a framework to bring together diverse actors to gather information, design more adaptable solutions, and strengthen local systems for sustainable impact.
Entry points to peacebuilding - Tanja Miškova
Q: What are the key pillars for more resilient wash outcomes?
Flexibility in funding, inclusive stakeholder mapping (especially including women), and cross-sector collaboration among humanitarian, development, and peace actors to strengthen local systems and adapt to changing conditions.
Entry points to peacebuilding - Tanja Miškova
Q: Why is conflict sensitivity increasingly essential in wash programming?
Because water-related conflicts tend to arise from inequality and blocked access to resources, not just scarcity, and they are amplified by weak governance and complex crises; integrating conflict sensitivity helps prevent interventions from unintentionally worsening tensions.
From exclusion to inclusion
Q: How do you identify who is marginalized in WASH projects?
We start with participatory rural appraisal, then evolve to participatory ward vulnerability assessments to let communities themselves identify vulnerabilities and prioritize needs.
From exclusion to inclusion
Q: Why is gender equality and social inclusion important when delivering WASH services?
Because women, girls, and marginalized groups bear the brunt of water access challenges, and ensuring inclusive design improves dignity, safety, and access to essential services.
