Beyond construction

A collection of case studies from the South Asian Sanitation & Hygiene Practitioners’ Workshop, held in Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh, 29-31 January 2008

WaterAid, BRAC and IRC jointly organised a 3-day learning and sharing workshop from 29-21 January 2008, in Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Over 50 people were invited to participate in the workshop including NGOs working on WASH in the region, academia and the media. The objective of the workshop was to identify and learn from good practices identified by a wide group of stakeholders. Secondly, the workshop looked ahead to SACOSAN 2008.

The papers presented in the workshop are published in this joint publication by WaterAid and IRC with a foreword by Jon Lane - Executive Director of the WSSCC. This publication contains the following:

• an overview of the workshop discussions, the messages that emerged and plans for further joint work
• 23 case studies written by practitioners from the region for the workshop divided into sections on urban sanitation, rural sanitation and hygiene
• a concluding paper that takes stock of progress in South Asia

The publication can be downloaded as one single document and (will also be available) as separate files covering one paper each.
