COVID-19 has put the need for strong hygiene promotion and community engagement front and centre, and has brought about an unprecedented level of collaboration, investment and innovation to support progress in these areas. At the same time, it has re-emphasised some of the long existing challenges for HP and CE within the WASH sector. This session offers an opportunity to reflect on how to engage with and respond to these challenges and strengthen hygiene promotion in global, regional and national humanitarian WASH responses, drawing on the experience of national and sub-national HP TWiGs and Clusters.
