Concluded projects

Governance, advocacy and leadership in water, sanitation and hygiene

During its ten years, the GoAL-WaSH programme – which in 2019 was succeeded by the GoAL-WaterS programme – was aimed at accelerating achievement of the water and sanitation Millennium Development Goals, and later the fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Every Drop Matters

This project was completed and closed its activities in April 2016.
