SEH Objectives
Support further development, introduction, and delivery
of high-impact interventions in WASH and IAQ, at
sufficient scale to achieve:
 Significant reductions in environment-related mortality and
morbidity in children under five years old; and

with infectious diseases of major public health importance in
all age groups.
__________
****Approximately 80percent of Supportive Environments
for Health activities will focus on WASH and 20 percent
will focus on IAQ.
Key Interventions

domestic needs; -improvement in drinking water
quality at the sources as well as at the point-of-use
(POU);
• Increased access to and use of sanitary facilities for

• Increased and improved handwashing with soap; and
• Increased use of alternatives to biomass fuels using
traditional stoves and/or increased use of housing
improvements to improve indoor air quality.
Sub-objectives
 SO1: Increase availability and use of proven high-
impact WASH and IAQ interventions
 SO2: Develop and implement strategies for
integration of WASH and IAQ interventions into
other health and non-health programs.
 SO3: Support USAID’s participation in strategic
