Watershed International and Netherlands (WP0) General Description
We have to get the next five years right, if we’re to meet the target of universal access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) by 2030. Watershed will take up the challenge by putting lobby and advocacy as one of the key pillars to achieve faster results. Watershed is a strategic partnership between the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and IRC, Simavi, Wetlands International and Akvo. Sustainability of WASH services is a critical Watershed goal. Over the next five years, the Watershed strategic partnership will deliver improvements in the governance and management of water, sanitation and hygiene services as well as of the water resources on which they draw. Good WASH governance requires the active and meaningful involvement of users (particularly women) of WASH services, service providers, water resource users and polluters. A strong civil society is essential to ensure that the voices of users are heard by service providers and government, and that government, service providers and the private sector are effectively held to account. The programme will be active at international level and in six countries: Kenya, Uganda, Mali, Ghana, Bangladesh, India. What we want to see: • Proven interventions funnelling knowledge and lessons upwards to influence governance and policy at national, regional and international levels. • Global civil society demanding fulfilment of the right to water and sanitation and equitable, sustainable allocation of water resources. • New partners investing in other countries based on Watershed results and approach. • International donors integrating environmental sustainability and climate change resilience into their WASH frameworks and practices. Simavi will be active at international level and Dutch level and in Kenya, Uganda, Ghana and Bangladesh.

Objectives Description
Long-term objective: ‘improved governance of the WASH sector, responsive to the interests of marginalised groups’. Overall outcomes: 1 In the countries where we work: competent CSOs and their networks lobby effectively for the realisation of the human right to water and sanitation and the reduction of inequalities in access to WASH/IWRM services. 2 Communities and citizens become capacitated and organise to demand their rights to water and sanitation and participate in WASH planning and budgeting. 3 In the global WASH/IWRM arena: global civil society effectively demands fulfilment of the human right to water and sanitation and equitable and sustainable allocation of water resources.

Target Groups Description
The ultimate target group for which we want improvements are the marginalised or people at risk of being marginalised in WASH governance: the poor; people who are excluded by reason of ethnicity or caste; and those who are hardest to reach due to location. The Watershed programme will work through strengthening civil society organization and governments.
Get Up Speak Out Malawi The SRHR Alliance developed a joint programme, Get Up, Speak Out for youth rights (GUSO) that received funding from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs to address the following core issue: Young people do not claim their sexual rights and their right to participation because of restrictions at community, societal, institutional and political levels. This hinders their access to comprehensive SRHR education and services that match their needs, and ability to make their own informed SRHR decisions. The GUSO Theory of Change (ToC) builds on the successes and experience of the SRHR Alliance’s members in the ASK and UFBR programmes. Through one overarching strategy linking (1) the provision of sexuality education and information; (2) the provision of quality, youth-friendly SRH services; (3) building support for youth SRHR, by addressing socio-cultural and political barriers in terms of practices, norms and policies (multi-component approach), the operationalization of GUSO’s five core principles (meaningful youth participation, inclusiveness, positive rights based approach, gender transformative programming and sustainability) and five interrelated outcomes (see below) the programme will contribute towards the long term objective.

Objectives Description
Long term objective: All young people, especially girls and young women, are empowered to realise their SRHR in societies that are positive towards young people’s sexuality. Interrelated outcomes: 1. Strengthened and sustainable alliances 2. Empowered young people voice their rights 3. Increased use of SRHR information and education 4. Increased use of youth-friendly SRHR services 5. Improved socio-cultural and legal environment.

Target Groups Description
Young people (10-25 years old). Many young people lack access to comprehensive SRHR information, education and services, and are still vulnerable to poor SRHR outcomes.
More than Brides India General description
The More than Brides consortium is a collaboration between Simavi, Save the Children International, Oxfam International and Population Council, with funding from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The programme is implemented in India, Pakistan, Niger, Mali and Malawi. Simavi will implement the programme in India and Malawi (lead). Child marriage is a gross violation of children’s rights to health, protection, and bodily integrity, and an impediment to sustainable development. It often leads to negative health impacts, truncated education, lack of access to income generation opportunities, healthcare and increased risk of intimate partner violence. The programme seeks to change harmful cultural practices that normalise child marriage whilst providing girls with SRH knowledge and access to the services they need to make informed health decisions. Together, we will provide girls and their communities with the tools and knowledge to stop early and forced marriages and give girls a better start in life.

Objectives description
The long-term objective is: “Young people are able to decide if and when to marry and pursue their SRHR in a supportive environment”. We will work towards this goal by empowering adolescents, especially girls, increase the acces to child protection mechanism, education, livelihood opportunities and SRHR services, and building an enabling environment, calling for social action and broad advocacy.

Target groups description
In India, Simavi will target 110.000 adolescents (both boys and girls) in 3 states. In Malawi, Simavi will target 60.000 adolescents (both boys and girls) in 3 districts.
