BACKGROUND

~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

The policies and targets to replace the Millennium Development Goals post 2015, are being developed.  Ambitious aspirations include universal access to water and sanitation services by 2030, which requires that our sector professionals are equipped with the skills and up to date knowledge to meet these challenges.

 

The WEDC International Conference is a comprehensive learning event, which seeks to catalyse this process, providing continued professional development for water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector professionals.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~

PROGRAMME

~~~~~~~~~~~

A three-day conference programme initially facilitates the sharing of current experiences and emerging knowledge, through presentations and debate of peer-reviewed content.

 

This is followed by a two-day capacity development programme, comprising quality-assured workshops designed to develop skills and knowledge in priority topic areas, which have been jointly identified with sector stakeholders.
