At the 37th WEDC conference in Hanoi, Vietnam the theme is "Sustainable Water and Sanitation Service for All in a Fast Changing World". IRC and partners will be co-organising a side event and presenting a number of papers.
The paper Developing capacity for an integrated sanitation service delivery model at scale on the SSH4A project will be presented by Erick Baetings (senior sanitation specialist at IRC) and Petra Rautavuoma (sector leader WASH at SNV Cambodia).
Tyhra Kumasi from IRC Ghana will present the paper The state of handpump water services in Ghana: findings from three districts of which Marieke Adank (IRC programme officer) is the lead author.
Peter Magara (national learning facilitator at IRC Uganda) will present the paper Service Delivery Indicators for Strengthening Local Monitoring of Rural Water Service Delivery in Uganda which he has co-written with Valérie Bey (programme officer at IRC) and Joseph Abisa (research officer IRC Uganda).
Monitoring water services in Ghana: the why, the what, the how and the cost will be presented by Tyhrah Kumasi of IRC Ghana.
Future perspectives for rural water supply: delivering higher levels of service: is the title of the side event co-organised with RWSN and partners. The event will bring together participants to discuss strategies to reach high levels of service and full coverage, both in terms of technologies and management models (in short, the shift from community managed hand pumps to professionally managed piped schemes).
Conference goers will also get an opportunity to browse through hardcopies of the recently published WASHCost book Priceless! - Uncovering the real costs of water and sanitation at the IRC booth.
