What's happening now
|
| Look, our new Sustainability Portal!
Our all-new Sustainability Portal is based on the Dutch WASH Alliance F.I.E.T.S. principles of financial, institutional, environmental, technological, and social sustainability. Included are the 10-part Triple-S building blocks from IRC and other sustainability frameworks.
More than 50 new article pages and sustainability tools, slideshows, and videos. Water and sanitation projects can now plan for longevity with confidence.

| * NEW ARTICLE PAGE: Community Based Savings - Community-based saving is a microfinance model that is an effective method for financing projects in sustainable sanitation and water management. Save a small amount of money and organise or join a saving group of up to 25 people, such as colleagues, friends or neighbours coming from the same community. Simple method; easy to implement.
|
| * NEW ARTICLE PAGE: Gender Mainstreaming - Gender mainstreaming assesses the implications for women and men of any planned action, including legislation, policies or programmes, in all areas and at all levels. It makes women’s and men’s concerns and experiences part of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes in political, economic and societal areas. Women and men benefit equally (gender equality) and inequality is not perpetuated.
