It is now possible to register for the WSSCC Global Forum on Sanitation and Hygiene, which takes place in Mumbai, India, from 9-14 October 2011.

The new Global WASH Campaign is here: Good Dignity Practices for Gross Domestic Product (GDP for GDP). The Global WASH Campaign, initiated by WSSCC in 2001, is a global advocacy movement around safe water, sanitation and hygiene. A new set of materials has been developed, themed GDP for GDP, focusing on the economic benefits to be gained from investing in sanitation while also stressing human dignity. The materials are available at www.wsscc.org.
On 21 June in New York, the United Nations Secretary- General, Ban Ki-moon officially called for a redoubling of efforts to achieve the MDG sanitation targets. In launching Sustainable sanitation: the five year drive to 2015, the Secretary-General is adding his voice to those in a range of sectors who have expressed concern about the slow progress towards ensuring that all people have access to basic sanitation and practice good hygiene.
