WASH United

There is hardly a societal activity that reaches more people than football. In Sub-Saharan Africa in particular, national teams are the pride of nations and their star players national celebrities and role models for millions, above all for children and adolescents. In 2010, with the first World Cup to take place in Africa, football stars will be more in the spotlight and stronger role models than ever before.



WASH United takes advantage of the burgeoning football fever across the… Continue

Collaborative bibliography on household water treatment

I am compiling an annotated bibliography on household water treatment and would like for others to be able to post or contribute to the bibliography. I have been trying this on Google's Krol feature but can see this is not going to work very well.

Would appreciate any advice. Should I set up a wiki or some other tool?

World Water Day 2010 and www.WASH-united.org

Dear all

By chance I ended up on www.wash-united.org , an initiative orginating from Germany, it seems, and run by Brot fuer die Welt, a german NGO.

I like the initiative, but don't see much offering interaction. Anyone of you involved?

Greetings, Peter

The tricky business of what is considered “evidence” in WASH

Judging by the number of posts on Twitter, evidence for decision making seems to be a hot topic at the moment not only in the WASH sector but more broadly in the development realm. DFID, the British bilateral cooperation agency has published the latest “Water, Sanitation and Hygiene – evidence paper”. I agree generally with the broad lines of the conclusions about what we still need to know to do our jobs in the sector better, but it was with utter disbelief that I read what is considered “evidence” in the report and what is discarded as not being “sufficient evidence”.
