Customised online courses for Rwanda. Building strong WASH systems together
Published on: 11/04/2023
The WASH Systems Academy is sustainably contributing to building of these capacities by providing online courses, where everyone can learn what it takes to deliver resilient water, sanitation and hygiene services and be part of the change needed to leave no one behind.
Water and sanitation systems strengthening can help lead to benefits such as more sustainable services, improvements in long-term operations and maintenance of small water systems, and improved governance and accountability.
Isoko y'Ubuzuma is a 5-year, USAID-funded project implemented from July 2021 through July 2026 by a consortium led by Water For People to improve Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) services in rural areas of Rwanda.
Isoko y'Ubuzima project has planned five customised online courses for Rwanda in 2023/2024.
In 2023 training courses are planned on advocacy (blended learning), building blocks of sustainable WASH systems, finance for sustainable WASH systems, costing, and district planning. These courses are customised by translating key concepts to the Rwanda context and linking to the Rwandan policies and guidelines with examples from Rwanda. Online courses on the WASH Systems Academy as part of the custom-made courses:
