KIWASH Case Study and Policy Brief Dissemination Workshop Report, Makueni & Kitui Counties
In October 2020, the Resilience Learning Activity (RLA) engaged a Learning and Knowledge Management Specialist to support KIWASH in conceptualizing and developing a Case Study on its work around Strengthening County Governments Accountability, Commitment and Participation in the WASH sector. Upon completion of the Case Study and during the post-case study discussions, it emerged that there was a need to further come up with a tool for engaging policy makers in WASH. RLA working with KIWASH therefore further engaged the consultant to lead the development of a Policy Brief.
