Monitoring Sustainable WASH Service Delivery Symposium
Addis Ababa, 9-11 April 2013 - Monitoring is a critical building block for sustaining water and sanitation services. Which water and sanitation system are exactly out there? What is the status of these systems? Knowing is necessary for correcting, adapting, and planning for sustainable WASH service delivery. The Monitoring Sustainable WASH Service Delivery Symposium builds on this and provides a platform for gaining knowledge and discussing the challenges for improved monitoring. The symposium will be attended by some 380 WASH sector experts from all over the world.
