Training Courses on Sustainable Sanitation and Water Management

Executive Summary

In addition to this Toolbox, there are regular training courses that build on the SSWM Toolbox and aim at linking up sustainable sanitation, water management and agriculture at the local level and in practice. They are run in cooperation between Ecosan Services Foundation (ESF), India, the Environment and Public Health Organisation (ENPHO), Nepal, Xavier University, The Philippines, Capacity Development for Sustainable Water Resource Management (Cap-Net), and seecon international gmbh, Switzerland. They enable participants to fully exploit the benefits of the SSWM Toolbox, develop a thorough understanding of Sustainable Sanitation and Water Management, and to build a strong network of partnering organisations working in the same field. Additional training of trainers courses enable the participants from all over the world to carry out SSWM Courses based on the Toolbox and others own their own.
