Online course on preparation of the Shit Flow Diagram (SFD)

The course will last for the entire month of June and has a load of 8 h/week. You can find out more on their website and apply by May 24 (deadline was postponed). There are also scholarships available! SFDs are a new and innovative way to engage sanitation experts, political leaders and civil society in coordinated discussions about excreta management in their city. It is a visualization tool that summarizes complex information into an easy-to-understand graphic, as it simply shows how excreta is or is not contained along the sanitation chain. It is a widely recognized advocacy and decision support tool, which has the potential to shift the focus of attention, money and activities towards effective and inclusive urban sanitation and more efficient investments, thereby, improving the situation of all urban residents and environment.

Sanitation Economy Summit
Join the Toilet Board Coalition for a one-of-a-kind experience which will showcase integrated sanitation systems of the future - that are smart, sustainable and accessible to all - cost recovering and revenue generating! The Sanitation Economy is changing the way we value our toilets and sanitation systems - creating vast new marketplaces of resources, products and services, data and insights that have been virtually untapped. The Sanitation Economy presents the potential to transform the economics of sanitation - from unaffordable public costs to untapped business opportunities - to achieve SDG 6.2 and selfreliant resilient systems. We have been building significant evidence that now shows that this transformation is feasible and represents an attractive set of business opportunities. In 2019, we are showcasing the evidence and impact of working Sanitation Economy systems, and an expanding marketplace of new business models for businesses and governments to invest and scale into the future.
