The sixth SACOSAN will be hosted by Bangladesh from 11-13 January 2016 in Dhaka with motto of: "Better Sanitation, Better life"
South Asian Conference on Sanitation (SACOSAN), a government led biennial convention held on a rotational basis in each SAARC country, provides a platform for interaction on sanitation. SACOSANs are intended to develop a regional agenda on sanitation, enabling learning from the past experiences and setting actions for the future. The objectives of such conferences are to accelerate the progress in sanitation and hygiene promotion in South Asia and to enhance the quality of people's life. The SACOSAN process is instrumental to generate political will towards better sanitation in the region.
The participating countries from South Asia are: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
