As the context still does not allow to meet in person, a series of 4 WASH online seminars will be organised between March and September 2021.
This year, the WASH working group webinars will be the occasion to:
- Showcase countries’ progress in the implementation of the WASH pillar of their National Cholera Control Plans;
- Review progress made on research projects on WASH that contribute to the global roadmap and discuss priority research topics based on the Cholera Roadmap Research Agenda;
- Critically review emerging tools, strategies and approaches aimed to support the implementation of WASH in countries.
