Feb 2011 – Aug 2012, Sida's International Training Programme Sustainable Urban Water and Sanitation – Integrated Processes

The overall objective of the programme is to provide the participants with understanding and knowledge about the need for integrated approaches and the organisational and institutional changes that are necessary for a sustainable provision of water supply and sanitation services in urban areas.

Implementation of the various recommendations on water supply and sanitation that have come out of international conferences and meetings over the last 20 years has been extremely slow. Thus, there is an urgent need for change, and the training programme aims to provide the participants with tools for change management. Thereby, the programme will generate change processes that contribute to the development of sustainable systems for urban water supply and sanitation in the home countries of the participants.

Closing date for application is November 24, 2010.
