Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Our Structure

Individuals can become SuSanA members by registering at the website. Members can post on the Discussion Forum, participate in working group activities, receive Discussion Forum e-mail digests, news and information from SuSanA, and participate in SuSanA meetings.
Organisations working in areas related to sustainable sanitation can become SuSanA partners. Applications to become a SuSanA partner can be submitted by a SuSanA member working for the organisation. Criteria for partner applications can be viewed here.
There is no fee to become a SuSanA member or partner.

The SuSanA secretariat is run by the Sustainable Sanitation Programme, Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, Germany, and has been funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) since 2007. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has provided co-funding to SuSanA since 2012 through Stockholm Environment Institute for various knowledge-management activities. Additionally, several partners contribute in kind to steer regional chapters, organise SuSanA meetings and other events, and to work on joint publications by SuSanA partners.

No, SuSanA cannot provide funding for projects or researchers. Some of SuSanA´s partners might have funds available for researchers, students, interns or activities. Visit their websites or use the SuSanA Discussion Forum to look for funding opportunities e.g. calls for proposals, tenders, applications and expressions of interest (projects and awards).
Sponsorships for individuals by some SuSanA partners are posted in the Discussion Forum.

No, SuSanA does not offer consultancy services. Some SuSanA partners and members do offer these services, and could be approached directly. You can find SuSanA partners in your country here.

No, SuSanA itself is not an employer. Those working for the Secretariat are employees of GIZ. Organisations often post their job vacancies on the Discussion Forum.

Under no circumstances will user information be shared with third parties, as confirmed in our privacy policy found here.  Based on "user preferences," registered members are automatically added to working group email lists  (without the address being visible to others). Anyone wishing to contact a member regarding a Discussion Forum post can do so without the email address being visible.

Partner organisations in a given region can initiate, fund and steer a regional chapter after the approval of the SuSanA secretariat and the core group (SuSanA’s governing body). The SuSana secretariat will provide support, but not funding, for regional meetings. Regional chapters have a chapter coordinator and establish targets and timeframes for activities.
