A Practical Guide for NGOs to drive Impact, Collaboration, and Scalability

This guidance note is intended to support non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in strengthening the climate resilience  of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) systems through practical, actionable steps. It provides a structured yet adaptable framework to help organisations assess, plan, and integrate climate resilience across internal operations, programme  delivery, and strategic engagement. In addition to implementation, it also supports efforts to influence the broader enabling  environment, policy, financing, regulation, and coordination. While primarily designed for NGO programme managers, technical specialists, and senior leadership involved in the design, implementation, and strategic direction of WASH programmes,  it may also be relevant to government officials, funders, private sector suppliers, and other sector stakeholders.
