| Abstract | The paper focuses on Gitega, the second largest town in Burundi in which, with the support of the German government, a demand-oriented sanitation project has been launched in 2010 following on a study carried out in 2007-2009. The project was initiated by Burundi’s SETEMU as a pilot project for area-wide sanitation improvements in secondary towns. Funded at a level of about 1 million euros, the program is being implemented by the Municipality of Gitega, specifically the city’s new sanitation services with support of a consultant (Fichtner Water and Transportation) and the German "Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit" (GIZ ) (society for international cooperation). [authors abstract] This three-day workshop aims to identify proven good practices in the sanitation and hygiene sector, as well as drawing lessons from failures to enter into the policy dialogue. It focuses on urban sanitation with an emphasis on learning and innovation in the sector. It was organised by : UNICEF, GTZ, WSSCC, WaterAid and IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre, and hosted by the Rwandan Ministry of Health. |
