WASH & Nutrition
I. Introduction The Water and Development Strategy was released in May 2013. This series of Implementation Briefs was developed to provide supplemental guidance in complement to the existing Water and Development Strategy Implementation Field Guide. This series of Implementation Briefs will provide additional information to facilitate and support programming decisions on the following key themes related to the Strategy: wash - Nutrition , Agricultural Water Management, Sanitation, Water Quality, and Sustainability of wash Services. The Water and Development Strategy calls for increased integration of water, sanitation, and hygiene ( wash ) and food security programs. USAID s water programs will be amplifying the goals of the Feed the Future Initiative by ensuring improved agricultural water management and wash components are integrated into food security programs whenever possible and appropriate for the local context.
Undernutrition remains a significant public health threat that requires both WASH and nutrition interventions. Undernutrition is an underlying cause of 45 percent of child deaths globally, and the lives of nearly 7.4 percent of the world’s children are at immediate risk due to severe wasting (low weight for height).
