First Announcement & Call for Registration

In many emergency situations access to adequate sanitation is one of the strongest determinants of survival. At times, especially in difficult contexts such as urban disasters or flooding, humanitarian actors lack sufficient capacity to ensure affected people have access to adequate sanitation. Unlike increased availability of emergency water supply options, only few alternatives for the pit latrine have been developed over the last thirty years. 13th June elevated toilets 14th June De-sludging equipment, 15th June Sludge disposal and treatment facilities
