Welcome to the official launch of the SuSanA Latin America Chapter during the LatinoSan Conference in San José, Costa Rica. During the event BORDA Las Américas will present an integrated, decentralized approach to water and sanitation solutions. Also participating in the launch are network partners ACEPESA, GIZ, OLAS, SEI, Aguatuya and RRASCA.
The Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA) is a global network of people and organizations who collaborate in the production and sharing of knowledge and experiences which promote and incentivize sustainable sanitation, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. SuSanA has regional chapters whose main objective is to better connect with the region’s characteristics and local needs, allowing SuSanA’s products and services to be more locally accessible and applicable.
SuSanA Latin America aims to strengthen the production and exchange of regional knowledge on inclusive and sustainable water and sanitation management, promote better practices through the application of integrated and closed-loop solutions, and build alliances for the development of consensus on and standardization of basic water and sanitation service management in the Latin America region. More specifically the chapter will strive:
Initiative / This initiative gathers SEI’s work in sustainable sanitation, bringing together research, capacity-building and policy support.
Media coverage / Harnessing the power of faecal matter proves to have benefits not only for sanitation and sewage management but also renewable energy production.
Perspective / A new tool – the WASH Insecurity Scale – reveals detailed patterns of WASH inequality in an African informal settlement.
Feature / In Chía, Colombia, inadequate waste management is putting lives and ecosystems at risk. We worked with locals to crunch data and calculate scenarios for change.
Design and development by Soapbox.
