BACKGROUND

Purpose of Activity/ Assignment:

UNICEF is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to advocate for the protection of children's rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. Across 190 countries and territories, UNICEF work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

Conflicts pose a significant threat to the safety and wellbeing of children and the number of children directly affected by conflict is massive and increasing. The interplay between conflict, climate change impacts, and the Covid-19 pandemic have worsened the plight of children globally – further stretching WASH systems and services in fragile and conflict-affected contexts (FCCs) and worsening the poverty and inequality that drives fragility and conflict. WASH interventions in fragile and conflict-affected contexts are at risk of inadvertently exacerbating conflict or contributing to wider conflict dynamics if not designed and implemented in a conflict sensitive way. WASH can also be a catalyst for peace. For example, in water scarce environments WASH interventions can reduce fragility and address the root causes of conflict. WASH interventions can provide a platform for social cooperation and partnerships between citizens and government or between divided communities. WASH can also serve as a critical peace dividend if associated with the cessation of violence and as an additional benefit of a peace process or agreement between conflict parties.

UNICEF’s WASH in Emergencies and Fragile Contexts team has developed WASH for Peace Guidance and Tools to equip UNICEF WASH staff and sector partners with the knowledge, resources, and tools to pursue conflict sensitive WASH interventions that build and sustain peace in FCCs.
