Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Training Workshop

From 27th to 1st December 2017

Course Overview:

According to the latest estimates of the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP), released in early 2013 (collected in 2011), 36 per cent of the world’s population – 2.5 billion people – lack improved sanitation facilities, and 768 million people still use unsafe drinking water sources. Inadequate access to safe water and sanitation services, coupled with poor hygiene practices, kills and sickens thousands of children every day, and leads to impoverishment and diminished opportunities for thousands more.**

The course provides an understanding of WASH in the context of wider public health challenges and illustrates the practical interventions necessary to deliver on health and wider development/emergency needs.

Course Objectives:
By the end of this course, a student assessed as competent against this qualification will be able to:

  • Understand public health and appreciate the current and future disease burden in developing countries
  • Correlate WASH and Environmental Health with Public Health (including nutrition) in the context of community development
  • Understand the practicalities around community water supply, waste management (including drainage), and related environmental health issues for effective community hygiene promotion
  • Examine indicators of performance in WASH and wider environmental health
  • Explain current thinking and practices meant to achieve sustainable WASH services through good technical, institutional and economic principles.
  • Discuss the issue of integrating behavior change in WASH and understand the importance and current thinking to hygiene promotion.
  • Plan and coordinate WASH responses in emergencies.
  • Understand the complexity of delivering safe water and sanitation in an emergency.
