In 2018 we organised and facilitated two regional rural sanitation workshops in Africa – the aim of the events was to bring together sanitation experts to discuss ways forward, map knowledge gaps and network in order to improve capacity and knowledge in the region, and build consensus on the way forward. We also see these events as an important stepping-stone towards AfricaSan in 2019. Below is a mix of useful resources produced from the two workshops. We also invite you to contribute to the debates in preparation for AfricaSan.
