WaterLex Toolkit

The WaterLex Toolkit aims at assisting development practitioners in effectively contributing to the realization of the human right to water and sanitation in the country of intervention. It provides a methodology and associated tools to assist bilateral and multilateral cooperation agencies and NGOs in the development of strategies and projects integrating human rights standards and principles and positively impacting the realization of the human right to water and sanitation in a given country. It concentrates therefore on integrating a human rights-based approach into water and sanitation projects. The Toolkit addresses primarily Water-Sanitation-Hygiene (WASH) practitioners, including development cooperation agencies and NGOs. It is also useful for all actors working in the water and sanitation sector, including national and local government institutions.
