Since 2008, UN-Water Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking-Water (GLAAS) results have indicated that there are substantial gaps in our understanding and tracking of financial flows in the WASH sector. To respond to this need, in 2012, the World Health Organization (WHO), through the GLAAS initiative, developed the TrackFin methodology to provide a global standardized methodology for collecting and analysing WASH financial data. […]

"La Planificación de la Seguridad del Saneamiento (PSS) es un enfoque paso a paso basado en los riesgos para la evaluación y la gestión de estos, a nivel local, para la cadena de servicios de saneamiento, incluidos los inodoros, la contención-almacenamiento/tratamiento, la transferencia, el tratamiento y el uso y/o disposición final. La PSS requiere capacidades de una serie de partes interesadas para iniciar, desarrollar, implementar, monitorear […]
"La planification de la gestion de la sécurité sanitaire de l’assainissement, ou PGSSA, est une approche séquencée pour l’évaluation et la gestion des risques au niveau local tout au long de la chaîne des services d’assainissement – des toilettes au confinement (stockage/traitement), transport, traitement et utilisation finale ou élimination. La PGSSA requiert les compétences d’un certain nombre d’acteurs du secteur de l’assainissement pour initier, développer, mettre […]
"Sanitation Safety Planning, or SSP, for short, is a step-by-step risk-based approach for local level risk assessment and management for the sanitation service chain – including toilet, containment/storage and treatment, conveyance, treatment and end use or disposal. SSP requires capacities from a range of stakeholders to initiate, develop, implement, monitor and sustain the process to safely manage sanitation systems. In particular, the success of SSP depends […]

"Sanitation workers provide an invaluable service that many of us notice only when confronted with locked, blocked, or filthy toilets; overflowing septic tanks; or beaches contaminated with sewage. These workers are vital to the proper functioning of the sanitation systems that underpin daily life, and many more ae needed to achieve the ambitious agenda of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6. Yet sanitation workers are often invisible […]
