About WASH East Africa
This MyWash.org group serves to bring together and facilitate exchange among anyone involved in WASH (and IWRM) in the East Africa region. This group is therefore *not* restricted to IRC International Water and Sanitation staff.
Members are encouraged, other than starting conversations about relevant topics, to share information and knowledge by pointing others to interesting sources on the Internet and elsewhere (please add a caption, so others understand what they are pointed to).

Kiribati’s North Tarawa declared first open defecation free island in the Pacific
North Tarawa in Kiribati is the first island in the Pacific to be declared open defecation free, thanks to the “Kiriwatsan I Project”. The Ministry of Public Works is implementing this project with technical support from UNICEF and funding from the European Union. In March 2013, North Tarawa adopted the Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach following a training of trainers course conducted by Dr Kamal Kar.

Brian Arbogast new WASH Director at Gates Foundation

A central role for government in monitoring sustainable WASH services
Governments are not only investing more in national monitoring systems, but their leadership in country monitoring is also now generally accepted. With this acceptance, however, come expectations about good governance and transparency. Monitoring is politics: agendas and power influence what is monitored and how the results are used. National systems, too, go beyond WASH sector monitoring and should include data from donors and NGOs as well.
