  • improved gender equality,
  • improved WASH evidence and knowledge base,
  • improved hygiene behaviour,
  • increased use of improved and equitable sanitation services and
  • increased use of improved and equitable water supply services.



The Fund is supporting 13 Australian and International Civil Society Organisations (CSO) to deliver 29 WASH projects in 19 countries over the years 2013 to 2018.

The CS WASH Fund site is a knowledge and learning platform that complements the work of the Fund. Its purpose is to provide the Fund's CSO Partners and general WASH practitioners a platform for sharing and finding resources on WASH as well as the Fund. All WASH practitioners to share and use resources on the site.
