DRAFTo Identification of global technical experts in areas of specific importance forsanitation (economics, finance, gender, etc.);o Clear matrix of responsibilities for support to WSP country teams in theirsanitation activities; ando Continued support and strengthening of the Sanitation and Hygiene GlobalPractice Team (GPT).The Sanitation and Hygiene GPT is a global virtual team of WSP practitioners workingon sanitation issues. The functions of the Sanitation and Hygiene GPT include:o Global knowledge generation, cross-regional fertilization, and active learning;o WSP positioning in sanitation;o Global flagship products (not only publications but also majorconferences/partnerships such as the regional sanitation conferences);o Lead participation in conferences/working groups – the GPT will be a keyexternal interlocutor of WSP in sanitation;o Safe space review/quality enhancement for all WSP products in sanitation (notonly GPT products);o Mentoring of junior staff in the GPT;o Active participation and leadership in World Bank thematic groups and otherWorld Bank activities with the objective of leveraging, learning, influencing andcoordinating on sanitation issues;o Knowledge gatherer of lessons learned and thinking in the subject by donors andother partners; ando Coordination and work with similar groups and practitioners in other IFIs andpartner donor agencies.A key principle in the selection of GPT products is its relevance to WSP counterpartcountries and agencies, and the innovative nature of issues analyzed at the frontier ofchallenges in the sanitation sector.• Contribute to Sanitation Outcome Indicators. In its work on the seven key themes of thesanitation medium-term framework, WSP seeks to contribute to supporting partnercountries achieve the following outcomes and trends (expressed as indicators):26

In line with the overall WSPpartnership strategy endorsed by the WSP Council in its session of 2005, WSP willstrengthen and consider the establishment of new partnerships with sector agencies andother stakeholders under the following principles:o Mutually supportive, measurable and clearly agreed-upon objectives are essentialto effective partnerships27
