The new Global Goals for Sustainable Development commit countries to ending malnutrition and achieving universal access to water, sanitation and good hygiene by 2030. Urgent joint action is needed now if these goals are to be met.
Our Healthy Start campaign calls on governments and donors to recognise that access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) is fundamental to ending malnutrition. WASH needs to be integrated into national nutrition strategies and plans, with joint multi-sector action, and increased domestic and international funding for WASH as a key ‘nutrition-sensitive’ intervention.
