United Purpose Nigeria
WASH Capability Statement United Purpose (UP) – Our role in the Nigerian WASH sector First in Nigeria to succeed in achieving Local Government Area (LGA)-wide Open Defecation Free (ODF) status.
We successfully work with the corporate world, realizing shared goals around improved water, sanitation and hygiene.
Learning and sharing our innovations is at the centre of everything we do. United Purpose’s WASH programmes identify best practices, pilot innovations, and scale up successful methodologies.
We take a holistic approach, integrating WASH with other initiatives. We promote inclusive service provision and interventions, ensuring participation of vulnerable and disadvantaged groups.
Government partner, supporting all three tiers of Government to bring Nigeria on track to end to open defecation by 2025 and achieving full Water, Sanitation and Hygiene coverage by 2030.
We recognize success can only be achieved together. We build capacity and develop and support platforms for closer coordination – including the Inter-Ministerial Meetings on Sanitation.
Sanitation comes first. At United Purpose, we believe that Behaviour Change is key to improved health. We support communities to prioritize and improve their sanitation and hygiene status, using the Community-led Total Sanitation approach. Our way of implementing CLTS is: ‘Community Problem, Community Solution’ – supporting communities to find their own solutions that work.
