KEY FINDINGS

• Sanitation is both an opportunity and a threat:
well-managed sanitation can promote food and
nutrition security, while poor sanitation is a source of
contaminants endangering health, environmental and
nutritional security.

• Integrated management of water, sanitation and
hygiene offers critical opportunities for promoting food
and nutrition security.

• Integrated management is technically feasible.
However, it is hampered by several barriers, including
silo thinking, lack of cross-sectoral communication, and
lack of working models.

• To promote integrated management, there is a need
for cross-sectoral goals, knowledge-sharing and
dissemination of well-illustrated case studies of crosssectoral
management experiences.
