Adequate coverage of people served with water and sanitation facilities is decreasing. A number of international conferences analysed this trend. Sustainability of water supply and sanitation schemes is a key factor to improve sector performance and effective coverage. The course will allow you to use updated knowledge and effective methodological management tools to plan for long-term sustainability in their projects. In a participatory process the first part of the course focuses on areas affecting sustainability in the sector.
Emphasis is put on management skills like analysing problem situations, planning and monitoring.
The second part will concentrate on key subjects concerning sustainability. During the third part participants will develop strategies for their projects, applying the knowledge acquired. Junior project staff with considerable field experience can also benefit from this course. Female participants are especially encouraged to participate. This includes lecturing fees, an information package, the participant's health insurance and food and lodging at the Hotel Topaz in Kandy.
