SE-ON-802426-1268-CLIMB-17338 WaterAid Sweden To achieve our mission to transform the lives of people who are living in poverty and have been marginalised, duty-bearers must take accountability and ownership. For this to happen WaterAid and our partners need to scale up the ambition of our advocacy and influencing to bring about transformational change. CSOs need to be empowered and have the capacity to position and mobilise towards duty-bearers. We need to guarantee that organisations are well-functioning and democratically governed and demand well-functioning and democratic government processes. We need to ensure that voices of individuals are amplified, including the poorest and most marginalised. This programme makes sure we have the tools and roadmaps necessary to call on duty-bearers to commit and deliver the right to water and sanitation. The Partnership Programme will mobilise partners and expand our collective capacity as civil society, building on each other’s strengths to successfully hold duty-bearers accountable. We have chosen to focus on two themes where the integration of WASH is crucial for people’s rights to water and sanitation. These are issues which have the potential to resonate politically and publicly across the different countries in which we work and on the global stage. • WASH and Women’s Health, with a focus on improving women’s health through clean and safe births, and the implementation of gender responsive WASH in healthcare settings. We are calling for increased investment in gender responsive WASH within maternal health services, and better monitoring and accountability systems that include women. • WASH and Climate Change, with a focus on influencing national climate plans to prioritise and implement climate resilient WASH services. We will emphasise the gendered impact of climate crises and the impact on WASH services and calling for investment in climate-resilient WASH for communities that because of discrimination, low socio-economic and climate effect are left extremely vulnerable.

WaterAid’s global strategy outlines that we will work to strengthen health systems through integrating WASH and hygiene behaviour change, prioritising women and girls, who make up the majority of health service users and health workers. During this strategy period, WaterAid seeks to build on and accelerate the gains made during the last Global Strategy and drive forward the global momentum that has been generated for an ambitious agenda to build stronger health systems through WASH. The core funding WaterAid receives from Sida allows us to continue important strategic interventions, for example system strengthening, health and SRHR activities, innovative partnerships, as well as strengthen gender inclusivity and a human rights-based approach. During the agreement period, Sida also supported a CLIMB phase 1 pilot that contractually linked the civil society programme with the core support from the thematic Health and SRHR strategy (Sida contribution No. 15221). The pilot enabled WaterAid to test in practice and contractually how the two grants could be strategically aligned and focused on establishing governance structures, onboarding partners, strengthening organisational capacity and preparing for the subsequent CLIMB programme phase.
