By all and forever

It's been silent on this blog for a while. But that is going to change soon...We're getting ready for the 3rd Asia Sanitation and Hygiene practitioners workshop. This one builds on our collective learning and documentation in the 2008 and 2010 workshops and focuses on  improving sustainability, equity, monitoring in Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH).

The workshop will be held from 31 January to 2 February 2012 in Bangladesh. Over 50 professionals from the region, from NGOs, universities, research institutes and government, will participate in this interactive event. We'll be exploring questions like: What have we learned about moving beyond construction to a focus on sustainable facilities and hygiene behaviours? What does it take to make sanitation a sustainable service? How to reach vulnerable groups in practice and ensure equity in our programmes? Do we achieve what we aim to achieve and what monitoring frameworks and tools help us measure that?

Over 23 papers have been submitted and more photostories and practical lessons will be shared at the workshop. The papers can be accessed at http://www.irc.nl/page/68058
