Strategies for linking water and sanitation programs to child survival. In June 1989, the AID funded Water and Sanitation for Health Project (WASH) sponsored a workshop to review the experience of eight project which have linked water supply and sanitation and child survival. The recommendations reported here based on the field experiences of the participants. the workshop identified factors that enhance linkage, as well as obstacles to linkage and recommended some linkage strategies in the areas of national policy, program management, and community participation. These insights and recommendations are intended to inform the debate about linkages by creating an awareness of the broad range of available options and strategies, so that water and sanitation and child survival programs can best meet the needs of the populations they serve.
