WASH Media Award

The WASH Media Awards initiative recognises and supports the crucial role of the media
in raising awareness of the importance of water, sanitation and hygiene services. It aims
to help improve access to these services by having a positive influence on politicians, business persons, civil society representatives and individual citizens. First launched in 2002
by Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC), the biannual award is
presented in collaboration with Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) at the
World Water Week.
