Introduction

From 29 April to 7 (later: 15) June, an electronic conference took place on School Sanitation and Hygiene Education (SSHE). The conference was organized by UNICEF and IRC.

The purpose of the conference was to create a global debate on achieving two major development goals: (1) create the large-scale conditions that will enable every child in the world to learn in a healthy and safe school environment and (2) ensure that every child masters and spreads good sanitation and hygiene practices in their school, home and community.
