IRC's raison d'être is to address the low access to WASH services that undermines well-being and economy in poor countries. The cause of this problem is the lack of skills, tools and will for the realisation of human rights to WASH by the public system. Those responsible for this problem are all the stakeholders in the governance of WASH services failing to effectively complete their respective roles: the public authorities, the operators contracted by the authorities, the donors, the civil servants, and the technocrats, the citizens, the taxpayers, and the consumers.
