As governments prepare to gather at the United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 19 and 20, a new report published by a group of six influential aid agencies provides clear
and compelling evidence that a new combined approach to tackling poverty and disease that brings together work on water and sanitation, health, education and nutrition achieves better results for the world’s poorest.
Entitled “Join up, Scale up: How integration can defeat disease and poverty,”the report co-authored by Action Against Hunger, Action for Global Health, End Water Poverty, PATH, Tearfund and WaterAid, highlights examples across 17 countries of how bringing different development approaches together - or integration - is working to help tackle poverty and disease, and calls on the international community including donor and developing country Governments to prioritize and invest in these joined-up programs.
