## 🙋🏻♀️ Welcome!
|
||||
|
||||
In the current context of increasing innovation in AI, changing financial funding flows, political and trade instability, there are many questions and articles about these challenges. But what are the actual challenges you are facing on the ground? What WASH data infrastructure needs to be in place?
|
||||
|
||||
What innovations and adaptations are you taking to ensure continuing water and sanitation services and to ensure you have the information you need? What collective action is needed to help achieve your goals and how can others contribute?
|
||||
|
||||
Join [WASHWeb](https://www.linkedin.com/company/washweb/) and [openwashdata.org](http://openwashdata.org/) in our upcoming dialogue. We will discuss what the past of WASH data has been, and what the future will look like.
|
||||
|
||||
All are welcome to this session, including non-WASH people, technologists, and those who are simply curious. The preparation of this webinar has been partially supported by Open WASH Data of the [Global Health Engineering](https://www.linkedin.com/company/global-health-engineering/) in Zurich. Please join us to learn more about the latest in open WASH data and the work with WASHWeb in WASHCollab.

title: "Building a community to improve access to WASH information"

WASHWeb is a set of participatory initiatives to give you and everyone you know better access to water, sanitation and hygiene information. This page is where you can find more information about taking part in various ways.
|
||||
WASHWeb is a set of participatory initiatives to give you and everyone you know better access to water, sanitation and hygiene information. This web page is where you can find more information about taking part in various ways.
|
||||
|
||||
The WASHWeb is made up of people and organizations that work to fill the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) gap to make data discoverable, usable and representative. WASHWeb is meant to serve as an open platform and requires diverse inputs to work. Our vision cannot be realized without community support.

||||

||||

|
||||
# WASHWeb Pillars
|
||||
## Working Groups
|
||||
|
||||
## Social Justice
|
||||
The working groups facilitate collaboration and discussions on four different initiatives for an improved and healthy data environment.
|
||||
|
||||
### Social Justice
|
||||
|
||||
Access to safe drinking water is a basic human right, and access to WASH systems is a social justice issue. What information is needed to improve access for marginalized people? What specific ethical issues around data collection, privacy, data ownership, and use of data need to be addressed?
|
||||
|
||||
## Using Data Better
|
||||
### Using Data Better
|
||||
|
||||
There is a wealth of information and knowledge available regarding WASH data. Organizations like the JMP, GLAAS, World Bank, and OECD have generated valuable data for the sector. How can we make this publicly available data more accessible and more usable? How can we incorporate data that is more difficult to find? How can we involve smaller organizations?
|
||||
|
||||
## Systems Thinking
|
||||
### Systems Thinking
|
||||
|
||||
In the WASH sector, it is increasingly recognized that systems strengthening is critical to achieve universal services. Understanding and acting on systems requires that qualitative and quantitative information is used holistically in collective action. How do we bring together diverse sources of information to support systems strengthening? What are the benefits and risks of using artificial intelligence and information technology for this task?
|
||||
|
||||
## Accountability: 4Ws
|
||||
### Accountability: 4Ws
|
||||
|
||||
The actors accountable for water and sanitation decision-making are often dispersed throughout diverse organizations. As a result, there is a scattered and disconnected WASH data ecosystem. We propose to develop a registry of **Who** works in the sector, **What** they do, **Where** they do it, and **When** it’s been done so that data is placed in context. Can this make the WASH sector more accountable?

In the ever-evolving landscape of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) management, data has become a pivotal resource. It holds the key to optimizing decision-making, informing policy, and ensuring that services reach the communities that need them the most. During World Water Week 2024, our session "[Unlocking the Hidden Potential of Open WASH Data](https://washweb.org/events/2024_08_29_SWWW/)" provided a platform for experts from across the globe to delve into the critical role that open data can play in overcoming sector-specific challenges. In addition, participants were able to bring in their own experiences through interactive brainstorm sessions in small groups about these key challenges. Co-hosted by [WASHWeb](https://www.linkedin.com/company/washweb/) and [openwashdata](https://openwashdata.org/), this session highlighted key issues around data ownership, accessibility, privacy, and trust, while brainstorming collective solutions to drive progress.

## Discoverability
|
||||
|
||||
**Discoverable** means that it can not only be found through search and also by simply showing interest in the area and somehow you discover it. Browsing wikipedia articles should be sufficient to find key statistics on water and sanitation. At the moment, these statistics are a few steps away in specialist websites like washdata.org and this information is not automatically used in those articles. Showing interest in a specific district and search "water" and the name of US county should give key facts about water supplies. Data may already be available but simply not discoverable.
|
||||
|
||||
## Representativeness
|
||||
|
||||
**Representative** means that information should also represent the reality on the ground from different perspectives and that information is not from a single source of truth. It should also be appropriate to the local needs both in terms of the WASH sector and local populations and should be validated.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usefulness
|
||||
|
||||
**Useful** information is information from which one can begin to take action. Often key information about who to contact for more information, what happened, when and where is missing. If there is information about water services or sanitation, these are often dated.

## WASHWeb's Contribution to Improved WASH Data
|
||||
|
||||
In short, the WASHWeb community makes information and expertise more accessible so that it is no longer only experts who are able to make informed decisions based on available evidence. Until now, WASHWeb has been an idea and a project that a few people have been playing with. WASHWeb (including this website) is entirely open source and participatory, meaning it is open to the initiative and inputs from others. Currently, WASHNote hosts and maintains the project website and source code.
