Water for Women (2022) Leaving No One Behind: Summary of lessons from Water for Women

A leave no one behind (LNOB) approach in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) reduces marginalisation and exclusion by identifying and addressing intersecting forms of disadvantage and inequality. LNOB approaches aim to reach many marginalised people across large areas and through policy, and to transform beliefs, norms and values that contribute to discrimination and people being left behind. Water for Women civil society organisation (CSO) partners work in diverse ways to support the voices of women, girls, people with disabilities, people from sexual and gender minority communities and other marginalised groups. As part of a dedicated initiative under Water for Women’s Learning Agenda, insights on LNOB approaches from CSO implemented projects are captured in a detailed report and summarised here.
