Daily Report East Africa practitioners workshop, Kigali, 31 March 2011

The third and last day of the workshop started with group presentations of issues analysed in the previous two days. Thereafter attendants prioritised the issues for further discussion in groups referred to as ‘World Café’, to come up with strategies and recommendations. From the group discussions a number of cross cutting issues that affect sanitation and hygiene for the urban poor were identified. These include for example the limited availability of appropriate technology designs to the community, or the lack of clear financing strategies or of sanitation scale up strategies. In order to trigger change, it was suggested that there is a need for sanitation subsidies, and that the involvement of all the stakeholders in planning and implementation of projects is crucial. Out of 15 key issues initially identified by the attendants, 6 were prioritised and further analysed in the World Café.
