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

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.

WORKSHOP 3: How-to Series: Leveraging the Links between Water, Sanitation, Hygiene, and Health

Many see the provision of sanitation services as a technical challenge calling for the skills of engineers to design, build, and operate facilities. However, the need for sanitation is about individual well-being and public health, which in turn has broad economic benefits. For those benefits to accrue, the construction and delivery of sanitation infrastructure are not sufficient; it must be used hygienically and considered in broader water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) context.
