About Ministry of Education (MoE)

The aim of the WASH Project is “to increase equitable access to primary and secondary education, particularly girls, in selected lagging provinces, and to improve learning conditions in Afghanistan.” WASH introduces a shift from monitoring only the enrollment of students (which also includes attention to students designated as ‘permanently absent’) to focusing on bringing children into school as well as student attendance.


The UNICEF WASH program is fully aligned with the goals of the Afghanistan National Strategic Plan (NESP III) and MoE policy. The project is designed to: (A) increase equitable access to complete packages of WASH services, providing access to clean drinking water, adequate sanitation and improved hygiene in disadvantaged districts especially for girls; (B) improve quality of instruction/education service delivery and (C) enhance MoE governance and management capacity.
