Nolubabalo Kwayimani, shared Conservation International-South Africa’s “One Health” framework that integrates water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) activities with freshwater conservation, improved livestock farming and restoration efforts. By empowering local communities to manage and benefit from their natural resources, and supporting local governance structures that enable sustainable livelihoods, “One Health” aims secure water futures for all water users.

This project draws on the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group’s implementation guidelines and monitoring and evaluation framework to measure the added value of integrated freshwater conservation and WASH programming.
