Capacity Building of Cities as part of the Sanitation Capacity Building Platform

The Center for Water And Sanitation (CWAS) is part of the Sanitation Capacity Building Platform (SCBP) set up by the NIUA. As sector experts, the CWAS team supports the SCBP by developing training modules and conducting capacity-building workshops for sanitation stakeholders and decision-makers. Under Phase I and II of this project, CWAS provided support to the SCBP in capacity building activities, training content development and hosting exposure visits on making and sustaining ODF status in cities, benchmarking for on-site sanitation, implementing FSSM and on private sector participation in FSSM. Under phase III of this continued support, CWAS is developing a training module on financing and contracting options for faecal sludge and septage management (FSSM). Post-development training workshops will be conducted for the appropriate audience.
