| Abstract | Dar es Salaam is Tanzania’s largest and most important industrial and commercial centre with an estimated population of about 4 million in 2010 which is approximately ten percent of the country’s total population. With a population growth of 4.3 percent per year, Dar es Salaam has become the third fastest growing city in Africa. The land locked countries of Malawi, Zambia, Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda as well as large parts of Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo depend on the port of Dar es Salaam for their import and export requirements. This makes the city of strategic importance not just for Tanzania but for large parts of Sub-Saharan Africa as well. [authors abstract] This three-day workshop aims to identify proven good practices in the sanitation and hygiene sector, as well as drawing lessons from failures to enter into the policy dialogue. It focuses on urban sanitation with an emphasis on learning and innovation in the sector. It was organised by : UNICEF, GTZ, WSSCC, WaterAid and IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre, and hosted by the Rwandan Ministry of Health. |
