Content - Summary
This tool has been provided by an interagency-initiative for Focusing Resources on Effective School Health, called FRESH. A series of Good Practice Guides has been prepared to provide members of the Interagency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) with access to focused information related to education in emergency situations.
This tool sets out a number of strategies that will help ensure that schools and educational facilities have adequate water, sanitation and hygiene facilities to guarantee the health of their students and staff. A checklist of general questions, as well as some that are specific to availability of water, sanitation, solid waste disposal and the occurrence of vector-borne diseases in the community is also included.
The information in this tool was adapted by UNESCO from the website of the Interagency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE):
http://www.ineesite.org/school/water.asp
This information supports the Core Component #2 of the FRESH framework for effective school health: water, sanitation & the environment. It will have a greater impact if it is reinforced by activities in the other three components of the framework being #1 Policies, #3 Health Education and #4 Health Services.
