November 2009 - Special Seminar at AWW, Johannesburg


A special seminar "Organisational co-learning for upscaling sustainable sanitation in Sub-Sahara Africa" was organised by WRC, GTZ and SEI on Johannesburg, Nov 8th, 2009 (Sunday) in Johannesburg, right before the Afrcian Water Week (AWW). This meeting showcased latest experiences, trends and challenges for up-scaling sustainable sanitation in sub-Saharan Africa. The aim was to share experiences and to discuss messages to the Second AWW in general, and the sanitation event on Tuesday (10 Nov.) in particular (“Closing the sanitation gap”, by WSP).
