# Water & Sanitation Water & Sanitation is an open-source web and mobile-enabled application designed to digitise operations in the waste management value chain, from collection to treatment, and provides the ability to drive coordination across multiple independent and disconnected stakeholders. This ensures that there is a continued chain of custody of waste throughout. Water & Sanitation is built on the principles of societal platforms, envisioning a space where sanitation is supported by shared resources, curated knowledge, and evolving solutions that address the needs of the community. By leveraging the Water & Sanitation solution, stakeholders can build innovative applications tailored to local contexts, while adhering to standardised components and data structures, leading to more effective and sustainable sanitation services.
