1. OBJECTIVE AND TARGETS

A. Project Objective

WASH in Schools (WinS) is globally recognized as a key intervention to promote children’s

right to health and clean environment and to influence a generational change in health
promotion behavior and attitudes. Improvement of WinS leads to better health and learning
performance of students by reducing the incidence of water and sanitation-related diseases.
In 2016, a joint steering group was set up between UNICEF Jordan and the Ministry of
Education, advised by a Technical Sub-Working Group for WASH in Schools comprising key
development partners and NGOs, co¬ordinated the development process for the WinS
National Standards; much needed addition to the Jordanian WASH policy context and will
contribute to increased awareness and action for addressing the crucial challenges to WASH
in Schools in Jordan.
The National Standards provide guidance and outline important criteria for six service
domains of WASH in Schools: Water, Sanitation, Hygiene practices, Menstrual Hygiene
Management, Operation and Maintenance and Environment aiming at strengthening the
Ministry’s role in coordinating and aligning governmental efforts as well as those of
development partners and NGOs working in the sector. The standards were endorsed by the
government in December 2017 and have since provided a Jordanian WASH policy context and
contributed to increased awareness and action for addressing the crucial challenges to WASH
in Schools in Jordan. The development and endorsement of the standards is a major milestone
in filling the crucial gap in the policies of the Government of Jordan relating to WASH in
schools.

The objective of this project to bring those schools up to the standards specified in the
National Wash in Schools Standards.
