This helps establish challenges, suggest options, prioritize interventions, and develop motion plans to deal with these challenges.

During the workshop, contributors developed an motion plan to deal with gaps within the WASH sector. In the following step, UNICEF will assist the Ministry of the Environment in implementing this motion plan.
