Sanitation governance – making the system work
This seminar was organised in cooperation with the UNDP Water Governance Facility at SIWI and aimed to further the dialogue among development-oriented actors in Sweden on how to improve the situation for the approximately 2.5 billion people worldwide who struggle for proper sanitation everyday. Rather than making the case for how important sanitation is for society and human health or how neglected it has been, the seminar focused on what needs to be done, and how.
