Updated - Monday 14 May 2012
About 300 - 500 participants from all over the world are expected to attend the 6th Rural Water Supply Network (RWSN) Forum, Kampala, Uganda, 29 November - 01 December 2011. The theme will be rural water supply in the 21st century: myths of the past, visions for the future.
Targeted are small private enterprises, political leaders from a local level, local and central government administrators, extension staff, NGO staff and donors. During the event they can share practical experiences and good practices on a wide range of aspects of rural water supplies. These include cost-effective technologies, accelerating self-supply, management and support systems, catchment protection and finance.
The event is organised by Skat, UNICEF, the Water and Sanitation Program of the World Bank (WSP), IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), WaterAid and the Ministry of Water and Environment in Uganda.
The Rural Water Supply Network (RWSN) is a global knowledge network with over 2,000 members. It focuses on four flagship themes: cost-effective boreholes, self-supply, sustainable rural water supplies and handpump technologies.
The call for papers will be announced in early April 2011.
