These UNHCR WASH guidelines and blank forms form part of UNHCR’s series of Standardized Tools and Guidelines for Refugee Settings which are the result of an extensive review process with WASH actors who have active programmes supporting refugees. It is recognized that these WASH guidelines and blank forms will require continuous review and amendment in response to changes in best-practice and feedback from the field. Therefore further review will be managed by a Technical Committee which will discuss issues related to the use of the forms and an annual update will be reported back to the WASH community. More urgent amendments will be reported as, and when, required. Note that many of these forms are based on tools shared by active refugee-focused WASH agencies and credit has given when a particular agency’s tool has been used or adapted.
Note that these designs can also be viewed by filtering the WASH Resources Database for “WASH Guidelines” or “WASH Forms”. They may also be found by filtering the archives for documents with the metatag “WASH Forms” or “WASH Guidelines”.
