Colleen Vollberg and Janet Edmond presented the findings of a recent paper (authored by David Bonnardeaux) examining the evidence base for how implementers have integrated Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and freshwater ecosystem conservation to date in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and what they have learned in taking a more holistic approach. Conservation International (CI) in collaboration with ABCG members and development partners helped produce the paper in order to call attention to the benefits of integrating health and freshwater conservation efforts.
