IRC at WASH Conference 2011 in Brisbane
Some 224 conference delegates from over 100 organisations in 40 countries participated in the WASH Conference 2011 in Brisbane, Australia. The common theme was sustainability. The conference was unique in that four areas of sustainability had equal weight in the programme: institutional, environmental and technical, social and behavioural, financial sustainability. IRC staff members gave a total of six key note speeches in three of the four streams and led three workshops.

Highlights IRC
IRC started working on information and knowledge sharing with partners since the early 1970s. Highlights from joint learning with partners over five year periods show how topic areas have changed over the years, how partnerships developed, how we started with the first short courses in the sector, and how research in one period contributed to newsletter articles and publications in another period.
Around IRC's 35th anniversary and the Sixth Water Information Summit in 2003 we published seven articles in Source Bulletin. Grouped together they make compelling reading for anybody interested in the history of the sector.
