WASH Accountability Mapping Tools Facilitator Guide
The Facilitator Guide, aimed helping those in charge of conducting the WASH Accountability Mapping Tools, is being driven around the principal questions on who is doing what in the sector and who is therefore accountable to whom. Intended to guide UNICEF Water, Sanitation and Hygiene professionals in facilitating practical activities related to accountability in the WASH sector, the Facilitator Guide also operationalizes the learning outlined in other works published under the same series such as Accountability for Sustainability Concept Note, Reference Guide for Programming and Enabling Environment and Water Governance: A Conceptual Framework. It includes interactive learning opportunities for participant discussion, reflection and peer-to-peer learning. The tasks provide an opportunity for participants to visualize the service delivery framework in a given WASH sub-sector as a system of interconnected accountability relationships.
The new released WASH Accountability Mapping Tools and its Facilitator Guide provide a structured way of identifying and analyzing challenges and choosing options for their improvement. The in-depth tools also assist in evaluating adequacy of actions and developing a roadmap for implementation and monitoring. Both publications are available in English and French.
