There are multiple emerging platforms for action, advocacy, and knowledge-sharing around MHM including global advocacy days such as Menstrual Hygiene Day, discussions regarding a MHM in Ten strategy to lay out priorities for the next 10 years, the WASH in Schools Partnership which includes MHM as a key priority, and the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals conversation. Many organizations are developing guidance, tools, and other resources for those interested in effective ways to implement MHM in Schools. Sample resources include operational guidelines from Save the Children, virtual conferences held by UNICEF and Columbia University, and a recent study on MHM with school-based recommendations for action by UNICEF and Emory University.]]>

0 Multiple-Use Water Services (MUS): Toward a Nutrition-Sensitive Approach /JordanTeague/spring-mus-presentation-91114-2 springmuspresentation9-141001092108-phpapp01
Multiple-use water services (MUS) is a participatory, integrated approach to water management that supports both agricultural production and domestic activities at or near the home. One of its principle strengths is that it overcomes traditional barriers between the domestic and productive water sectors. MUS has the potential to bridge agriculture and nutrition through water use: enhance crop production and household income, increase access to diverse foods, decrease disease transmission, and empower women and communities through income generation and time and labor savings. Additional nutritional benefits from MUS may be linked to safer drinking water and improved hygiene. With emerging evidence suggesting that stunting cannot be addressed without also focusing on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), SPRING wanted to better understand current WASH and water strategies that sought to bridge agriculture and health to reduce undernutrition at the community, farm, and household levels. Pulling on examples from the field, this report highlights some opportunities and challenges around linking MUS to improved nutrition and outlines some promising practices for making MUS more nutrition-sensitive.]]>

0 Integration of WASH and Nutrition: Successes, Challenges, and Implications for Integration /slideshow/integration-of-wash-and-nutrition-successes-challenges-and-implications-for-integration/38463807 washnutpresentationjt-140828140007-phpapp02
The relationship between water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) and nutrition is well-known and well-documented in the literature. Lack of WASH causes diarrheal disease and is associated with environmental enteropathy. Both of these inhibit the absorption and use of calories and nutrients, causing undernutrition. In turn, undernutrition makes children more vulnerable to enteric infections like diarrheal disease. It is recognized that WASH and nutrition programs are both necessary to achieve improved health outcomes. Studies have shown that the most effective interventions will be those that combine both improved nutrition and infection control and prevention efforts. However, there is limited evidence on how WASH and nutrition programs are integrated in the field, what barriers these programs face, and what stakeholders believe to be necessary for successful integration. This study explored this integration to identify barriers to and necessary steps for successful integration of WASH and nutrition programs.Participants identified a total of 14 barriers or challenges and a total of 11 actions, strategies, or changes needed to support effective integration. The main barriers and needs are listed below. Barriers: - Insufficient or siloed funding - Staff capacity and interest - Knowledge of each sector - Coordination between sectors - Lack of evidence on impact of integrated programs Needs: - Comprehensive strategy - Coordination between sectors - Funding and donor support - Evidence of impact of integrated programs - Leadership Integrating programs in public health is not an emerging concept, but has yet to be operationalized in WASH and nutrition practice. Below are several suggested initial steps toward effective integration of WASH and nutrition: - Donors should support and fund integration in appropriate contexts through integrated funding streams - Donors should fund operational research to generate the evidence base of the additive or multiplicative effects of integrated programs and to formulate a standard methodology for integration - The WASH and nutrition sectors should improve knowledge sharing and cross-training - Organizations and donors should design incentives through reporting or evaluation criteria for the WASH and nutrition sectors to work in collaboration toward common goals, objectives, and targets Source: Teague, J, et al.
