The learning platform for water, sanitation and hygiene systems strengthening
Course objectives: The water sanitation and hygiene systems strengthening approach looks at the system through the lens of nine critical "building blocks" like monitoring, finance and policy and legislation. Each session in this course focuses on one of these building blocks of a sustainable system, and introduces tools and methodologies to start applying the approach and assess the strength of the system in your context. Every session has extra optional materials if you want to know more.
Course content: This course includes podcasts, animations, graphics, videos, documentation and multiple-choice tests. There is also the opportunity to connect with other WASH sector professionals through online forum discussions. The majority of this course is also available offline. You can download the complete session texts, including all the exercises, via the course resources tab. This allows you to follow part of the course offline. However, you will need to connect to the online platform to participate in the forum discussions, upload the materials you create and complete the multiple-choice tests and quizzes.
