Scaling up capacity building in non-sewered sanitation Strengthen the ability of capacity building organizations, such as training institutions and resource centres, to deliver high quality capacity building services in non-sewered sanitation CAWST,
Focusing in the geographic areas of Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, including Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, Bangladesh, and Nepal, over the next two years CAWST will identify and strengthen the ability of capacity building organizations, such as training institutions and resource centres, to deliver high quality capacity building services in non-sewered sanitation.
Existing and potential capacity building organizations will be identified and catalogued, and subsequently linked to implementers, practitioners, government officials, project managers, technicians, emptiers, and health promoters, as well as sanitation experts and resources. In addition, we will select and strengthen the most promising capacity builders, helping them to improve their education resources, curriculum design, delivery mechanisms, and knowledge management practices.
CAWST understands that capacity building is not a goal in itself, but rather a foundation to achieve sanitation goals. Therefore, effective capacity building should result in action: knowledge transfer, skill development, behaviour change, and implementation by the target audience – with the ultimate result being people using safely managed sanitation services. Proper design and delivery of capacity building activities is critical to successful capacity building outcomes.
