About

The Compendium of Tools for WASH System Strengthening Programming brings together 21 qualitative and semi-qualitative tools from across the sector, offering practical guidance for planning, implementation, learning, and evaluation within WASH systems. Whether you're a practitioner, policymaker, or partner, you'll find actionable insights and links to key resources throughout.

This digital version complements the first edition of the Compendium (May 2025), and we will continue to refine and expand it in the coming years.

The table includes these key elements:

• Tool Name & Organization: Tool identifier and lead developer
