CHALLENGE:  Lack of comprehensive base-line information of local resources

ASD SOLUTION:  Have the community conduct a comprehensive survey to create a viable action plan

In areas with the greatest need, it is not just one water problem that community is facing. It can often times be a combination of issues from water access to water quality to sanitation to water resource management. ASD has developed a series of seminars that assist local community leaders to assess their Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) needs an design an integrated WASH Action Plan that can address all their water issues holistically and in stages. This ensures that the decision making for all water services are in the hands of the community.

• WASH Resource Inventory (WIN)  and Community Survey -  A comprehensive survey and resource mapping that the community conducts to best assess their water issues. This asset-based approach helps the community to appreciate their resources with a sense of opportunity.
• WASH Planning - A facilitated workshop that helps community leaders to create integrated WASH Action plans.
• Training of Trainers Seminars are offered to local NGOs and governmental agencies to conduct WIN/WASH Planning with local communities.
