he Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology Sydney (ISF-UTS) is partnering with civil society organisations (CSOs) Plan International in Indonesia (YPII), Plan International Australia (PIA), WaterAidTimor-Leste and WaterAid Australia to conduct research to inform how the CSOs address the impacts of climate change on their Water for Women projects. The research project draws from a range of climate change adaptation, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and gender and social inclusion concepts and on recent research approaches for assessing climate change.
This project provides a means by which CSOs can:
- Assess how climate change affects WASH service, gender and inclusion outcomes
- Use the assessment information and replicate the methods in their Water for Women projects
- Encourage adoption of climate change assessment findings and methods by other WASH practitioners and CSO partners
