The Arsenic Knowledge and Action Network practices largely the following approach in terms of initiating, facilitating and connecting necessary action on the ground:

• Fostering platforms for joint consultations and action research
• Bridging/addressing the gap in capacity relevant to the technical aspects of arsenic
• Leveraging the existing local capacity for alternatives in terms of local infrastructural solutions, local knowledge and forms of communication (local newspapers)
• Using the above to build convergence with programs, institutions and service delivery organizations.
