Sanitation is dignity, hygiene is health, water is life. They underpin everyday life for everyone who has ever lived and who will ever live - and yet today more than billion people do not even enjoy these basic human rights.
Since 2007, the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance has been at the forefront of advocating that sanitation systems should be economically viable, socially acceptable, technically and institutionally appropriate, and protect health,
the environment and natural resources.
SuSanA 2.0 is a call to a new generation of sanitation professionals and organisations around the world to turn words into action. There are many different paths, and this document details the different ways to get involved in
a way that you can achieve your professional and organisational goals, alongside colleagues and allies so that together we realise the Human Right and Sustainable Development Goal of universal access to safe, dignified
sanitation.
This Handbook is the operationalisation of SuSanA 2.0 to give clarity and be an invitation to those who want to contribute in any way, small or great, to this vital mission.
