The Global WASH Cluster (GWC) has developed a training pathway for water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) Cluster partners and coordination staff. This training pathway includes the following e-learning and face-to-face courses, most of them available our GWC learning channel.
Partners' briefing on humanitarian WASH coordination

It focuses on presenting the cluster’s objective and outputs (strategic orientation, harmonized technical standard and methodologies, online document repository, specific tools and template used in country), and aims to inform partners about the inputs they are expected to provide (input to monitoring framework, participation in cluster event and working groups)
