Schools are more than places to learn—they shape a child’s future. Yet, for millions of children worldwide, this critical environment is undermined by something as simple as access to a basic toilet. Globally, 427m children go to school each day without a toilet that they can use. Unfortunately, the issue is not only whether schools have toilets. The reality is that 205m children attend schools where toilets exist but are unusable—these toilets are lost to neglect and children suffer as a result. This is a hidden phenomenon known as “Toilet Loss”, and it is happening in schools all over the world. The second year of this research programme, covering 65% of the world’s school-aged children, reveals that 14% of school toilets that exist today have fallen […]

CALL FOR PAPERS till the 30th of September: Extreme weather events like severe droughts and floods are increasingly affecting the world, underscoring the urgent need of addressing the effects of climate change. This global crisis poses significant threats to both to water and food security, particularly as temperatures rise and agriculture's demand for water intensifies. Rivers are drying up, aquifers are not recharging adequately, and coastal areas are experiencing higher salinity and rising sea levels, putting immense pressure on the global water management systems. Farmers struggle to maintain their crops, while city residents worry about the stability of their food supply. It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the International Conference: Water and Food Security in the Face of Climate Change: Challenges and […]

This year – 2024 – marks a decade of Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), the Government of India's flagship programme to improve sanitation. While Phase I focused on the elimination of open defecation through construction of house-hold and community toilets, SBM 2.0, launched in 2021, seeks a more complete approach to liquid waste management. It stresses that “all faecal sludge and waste(used) water are safely contained, transported, processed and disposed of, so that no untreated faecal sludge or used water pollutes the ground or water bodies”.
This webinar cuts across different IWA’s initiatives, programmes and communities. It is jointly organised by IWA’s Inclusive Urban Sanitation Initiative in collaboration with the United Nations Human Settlement Programme (UN-Habitat). UN-Habitat’s vision is “a better quality of life for all in an urbanizing world”. UN-Habitat is implementing the “Scaling Citywide Inclusive Sanitation Systems (CWIS)” Project which aims to ensure everyone benefits from safely managed sanitation. The Global Report on Sanitation and Wastewater Management in Cities and Human Settlements is one of the main deliverables of the project. It provides a global reference on wastewater and faecal sludge management in urban settings. During the webinar, UN-Habitat will present 4 case studies from Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), Dhaka (Bangladesh), Nakuru (Kenya), and Hanoi (Vietnam) from the report, to illustrate specific challenges […]
