Pacific WASH Coalition

The Pacific WASH Coalition

The Pacific WASH Coalition supports regional initiatives in the area of water supply, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).  The Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) division of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community has the regional mandate on water and sanitation and provides a secretarial role within the Pacific as a member of the global Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC). Jointly the Coalition takes a coordinated approach in addressing the issues of access to safe water supply, adequate sanitation and improved hygiene practices for the people in the Pacific. The Coalition utilises existing frameworks such as the Pacific Partnership Initiative on Sustainable Water Management, the Pacific Wastewater Framework for Action and the Pacific Framework for Action on Drinking Water Quality and Health to support countries achieving the MDG targets on water and sanitation. The Pacific WASH Coalition framework seen below is downloadble as a pdf.
