The Water Supply and Sanitation
Collaborative Council (WSSCC) is a global, multi-stakeholder membership
and partnership organization that works with poor people, their organizations,
governments, and small-scale entrepreneurs to improve sanitation and hygiene at
scale. Founded in 1990, the Council maintains a membership of over 4,000 water,
sanitation and hygiene (WASH) professionals from over 80 countries.
The United Nations Office
of Project Services (UNOPS) is the legal and administrative host of WSSCC.
The mission of the
Council is to ensure sustainable sanitation, better hygiene and safe drinking
water for all people, with the focus on the poorest and most marginalized
members of society in low- and middle-income countries in Africa and Asia.
To achieve its
mission, WSSCC facilitates sector coordination at national, regional and global
levels, and engages rights holders and duty bearers to adopt policy guidelines
on menstrual hygiene and disability.
The Council also
supports national sanitation and hygiene improvement programmes through its
Global Sanitation Fund, coordinates knowledge platforms, and advocates on
behalf of the 2.4 billion people without access to improved sanitation.
