WORKSHOP 4: How-to-Series: Towards Achieving Gender and Social Inclusion in Urban Sanitation
19 April 2021

This two-hour interactive workshop was for senior and mid-level professionals who want to learn about opportunities for gender and social inclusion (GESI) in urban sanitation. The workshop increased knowledge of how to design and implement more inclusive urban sanitation projects.

Through small group work and sharing examples from the region, participants would have reflected on the barriers to GESI in urban sanitation in their country. This reflection led to a discussion about practical actions for more inclusive and equitable sanitation services.

Real-world, inspiring examples of GESI in urban sanitation were presented by video and guest speakers. The workshop introduced new CWIS guidance materials and information on how to access further support.
