WASH Seminar Series 2023

World Vision is excited to announce the first annual WASH Research and Learning Seminar Series. Building on our 2021-2025 WASH Research and Learning Agenda and our approach of promoting Implementation Research with long-term partnerships between our implementing offices and academic/technical partners, we will host a series of three seminars focused on gender equality and social inclusion; data-informed decision making; and building a culture of quality. 

Participants will include World Vision staff, representatives from our learning partners from leading academic institutions, and other sector-leading partners working on different technical topics.

French and Spanish translation will be available for all sessions. To register for each seminar, see the details below:
