Abstract | The premature failure of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions has been a challenge to the sector for many years. There is a growing concern - and emerging consensus - that a re-appraisal of approaches is required and that simply carrying on with ‘business as usual’ is not good enough. This was the focus of a one day workshop of - Sustainable Water & Sanitation Services at Scale: Changing the Business as Usual Approach - held in Washington, D.C. on 12 October 2010. This workshop brought together over 70 participants, from 50 U.S. based organizations, all of whom work in the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector; including a range of donors, implementing agencies (both large NGOs and smaller charity groups), advocacy organizations and academic or research bodies.
