National Sanitation Policy Advocacy

The National Sanitation Policy Advocacy (NSPA) seeks to improve sanitation policy and practice in Africa through the review and development of policies in line with the African Sanitation Policy Guidelines (ASPGs).

Specific Objectives:

• To strengthen the sanitation policy environment in Africa by aligning national policies with the ASPGs and SDG 6

• To champion gender and social inclusion mainstreaming in sanitation policies and regulatory frameworks in select countries
