* '''NEW ARTICLE PAGE: [[Communal Latrines|<font size="2">Communal Latrines</font>]]''' - This article covers the topic of communal latrines, also called institutional or school latrines. Much of the material in this article is based on project successes in the Sudan. This is a portion of the document of Technical Guidelines, outlining best practices for the development of the 14 types of water supply and sanitation facilities in the Sudan. Several of them are communal (multi-user) latrines.
* '''NEW PORTAL:''' [[Sustainability Portal|<font size="2">'''Sustainability Portal'''</font>]] - [http://www.irc.nl/ IRC] and Akvopedia have teamed up to produce an all new [[Sustainability Portal|Sustainability Portal]] based on the Dutch WASH Alliance [http://www.washalliance.nl/fiets-strategy/ F.I.E.T.S. principles] of financial, institutional, environmental, technological, and social sustainability.

* '''NEW ARTICLE PAGE:''' [[Community Based Savings|<font size="2">'''Community Based Savings'''</font>]] - Community-based saving is a microfinance model that is considered to be an effective method for financing projects in sustainable sanitation and water management. This is an effective method for saving a small amount of money by organising or joining a saving group of up to 25 people. These people might be colleagues, friends or neighbours coming from the same community. The method is very simple and easy to implement.
* '''NEW ARTICLE PAGE: [[Gender Mainstreaming|<font size="2">Gender Mainstreaming</font>]]''' - Gender mainstreaming is the process of assessing the implications for women and men of any planned action, including legislation, policies or programmes, in all areas and at all levels. It is a strategy for making women’s as well as men’s concerns and experiences an integral dimension of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes in all political, economic and societal spheres so that women and men benefit equally (gender equality) and inequality is not perpetuated.
