Paragraph: 38
Calculate and justify minimum bilateral ODA for WASH, ensuring integrated SRHR programmes
Recommendation
Access to clean water and the provision of adequate sanitation and hygiene reduces the risk of maternal and newborn mortality. In complementarity to its approach on SRHR spending, the FCDO should calculate and justify a minimum bilateral ODA percentage that it must spend on WASH to reach its development targets. This target should not be lower than 2% per annum. The FCDO should also ensure that WASH and SRHR programmes adopt a complementary and integrated approach.
