The Technical WASH Review of Gonaïves took place in March 2009, facilitated by an independent consultant, commissioned by ACF-UK and funded by UNICEF through the Global WASH Cluster. As part of the Global WASH Cluster Technical Learning Project, the review serves to complement a learning workshop on WASH responses to floods in urban environments and to provide feedback to agencies involved in the review and in the Gonaïves WASH response. The review sheds light on weak and strong points of the WASH emergency response following the August and September hurricanes of 2008, identifies gaps and lessons learned and attempts to reflect upon how this learning in Gonaïves may be applied in other contexts.
