APRIL - JULY 2005 ISSUE: To motivate and educate students, highlighting the fact that low-cost and affordable technologies are the only answer to solve the sanitation problem in developing countries, and to provide impetus for the development of systems that are applicable to prevailing cultural and environmental conditions, Sulabh International has set up the SULABH INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY OF ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION, which is the first academic institute in the world exclusively focussing on sanitation in all its manifest and subtle dimensions. It intends to provide some key initiatives to advance the objectives of sanitation education on a national and international scale; in particular, the achievement of a community committed to ecologically sustainable development, especially in regard to sanitation. As part of the larger programme to enhance the goal of Sanitation to All, Sulabh International, in collaboration with United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN HABITAT), recently conducted an International Workshop on Sanitation Technologies (31 January to 12 February, 2005) whereby training was provided to 23 sector professionals of 5 African nations. UN-HABITAT chose Sulabh to pass on the experience it has in the sanitation sector by imparting knowledge and technical skills so that Sulabh technologies can be implemented, albeit with suitable modifications, in African nations. Sulabh will play the role of a facilitator in this long term programme and also aid in the evaluation after successful implementation of the same. It is for this purpose that this brief water and sanitation status report of the 5 African nations that took part in the training workshop has been prepared. *************************************************
