REACH-WISER REACH-WISER (Water in Security Equity and Resilience)

REACH is an international, collaborative project led by Oxford University (OU), financially supported by FCDO, to improve water security for the poor in Ethiopia, Kenya and Bangladesh. REACH-WISER (Water InSecurity Equity and Resilience) focuses on interactions between water security and inequalities across communities in Ethiopia, Kenya and Bangladesh. There is a focus on understanding household and intra-household dynamics of water security and inequalities, including gendered power relations and decision-making related to water, which have been under-researched in relation to WASH. Dr. Sarah Dickin and Dr. Elijah Bisung are collaborating through the use of the Empowerment in WASH Index in REACH-WISER, and its connections to a range of other outcomes being investigated by the larger team.
