Sustainable Sanitation and Water Management Training Programme

In collaboration with our sister organisation seecon, cewas offers regular Sustainable Sanitation and Water Management (SSWM) training courses worldwide. The trainings are built on the SSWM Toolbox; the largest and most visited platform on the topic universally. The courses aim at linking up sustainable sanitation, water management and agriculture at the local level.The SSWM Training courses enable participants to fully exploit the benefits of the SSWM Toolbox and develop a thorough understanding of sustainable sanitation and water management practices. The SSWM training course usually lasts for one week and follows a participatory, cross-institutional and interdisciplinary approach. While outlining the training programme, great emphasis is laid on participants ’interaction: besides face-to-face lectures, group works and case studies, visits to existing projects and role-plays reveal creativity and make participants think in a holistic way. More than 100 SSWM training courses have been given since 2010 in more than two dozen of countries all over the planet; more than 2300 participants have been trained. Courses are conducted in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic.
