| Abstract | The main aim of this paper is to spread the idea of using urinals in pro-poor urban settings, schools, camps and other congested areas to reduce the queuing time, reduce the need for latrines, to shorten the building time, reduce the cost for construction and reduce environmental pollution. The main target of the initiative is women and children in particular and the whole family in general. This is a concept also possible at household level. The other target groups are government organisations and NGOs who participate in training for trainers and then continue further to introduce urinals. [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. |
