Partners
Led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), the SHARE Consortium comprises of and works through nine partner organisations to deliver its research, capacity development and research into use activities.
This one-of-a-kind combination of distinguished partners provides a unique opportunity to access a wide range of expertise from international scientific researchers, policy researchers, national water programmes, worldwide sanitation and hygiene programmes and civil society. We also seek to maximise country ownership of SHARE’s work and the sustainability of SHARE investments and so five of our partners are Africa or Asia based.
