• Providing guidance on building the competence and confidence of WASH and other sector staff to start
engaging in menstrual hygiene and break the silence surrounding the issue.
• Encouraging increased engagement in advocacy on menstrual hygiene and encouraging relevant sectors to
collaborate for effective advocacy and implementation.
