The Research, Assessment & Knowledge Management vertical of the Maharashtra Urban WASH-ES Coalition aims to explore, compile and assess information crucial to enabling cities to provide sanitation and solid waste management and safe water services. The initiative recognises the importance of engaging a gamut of stakeholders for operations and maintenance, and professionalization of WASH service delivery with a focus on ensuring sustainability in urban areas with high densities and low-income settlements. Under Research and Assessment, the Coalition facilitates joint action research with government and partner organisations to identify gaps and local challenges and assist with long-term strategic interventions.
