Water, sanitation and hygiene in humanitarian crises: setting the research agenda up to 2030

A consultative approach, based on the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative method was used to identify research priorities.

Abstract

This Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) research priority setting was commissioned by Elrha’s Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises (R2HC), building on an existing collaboration between the Global Wash Cluster and Elrha.

A consultative approach, based on the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) method was used to identify WASH research priorities in a transparent, consultative, comprehensive and replicable way. The results of this exercise serve as a guide for researchers, humanitarian practitioners and funding agencies by providing a prioritised list of research questions that, when answered, will contribute to improved WASH policy and practice in humanitarian crises.

This research was supported by the Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises (R2HC) Programme.
