The Regional Sanitation Centre (RSC) for SACOSAN is an independent institution established by the Ministry of City Planning and Water Supply, Sri Lanka in 2017. The RSC has been legally constituted by the Government of Sri Lanka to fulfil its commitment made at the SACOSAN VI in Dhaka, Bangladesh.  The RSC in collaboration with regional partners is organising this conference from 25 to 27 January 2019 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

The conference aims to provide a platform to learn about scalable sanitation solutions and best practices from the South Asian national governments and water and sanitation experts and practitioners from the region. This conference is being viewed as the first step towards fostering knowledge-sharing linkages amongst practitioners and governments in the region and, thus, act as a complementary process in translating the spirit of SACOSAN’s commitments into action.

Four Thematic Focus Areas of the Conference

• Improving Sector Governance through Policy & Programme Monitoring, Reporting & Accountability Instruments
• Scalable Faecal Sludge and Septage Management Solutions
• Environmentally Sustainable and Climate Resilient Sanitation Solutions
• Building Blocks for Achieving Inclusive and Equitable Sanitation

Deadline for presentation applications is November 30th 2018.
