Participate in the WASH 2011 conference to interact with international experts and current practitioners working in Asia, the Pacific and Africa. The conference will address arguably the biggest challenge to water supply, sanitation and hygiene: sustainability. Sustainability will be considered from institutional, environmental, social and financial perspectives.

The conference will bring together people to share perspectives, compare challenges and explore solutions from high level policies to on-ground projects. Through a combination of conference seminars and discussions as well as training workshops, you too can share with and learn from practitioners from around the globe.

16 – 20 May 2011 at Central Bardon Conference Centre in Brisbane, Australia.

WASH conference 2011
There is a global crisis in sanitation and water: almost two fifths of the world’s population (2.6 billion people) do not have access to improved sanitation; roughly one in eight people (884 million people) do not have access to safe water.

An essential element in tackling this crisis is to build the knowledge and skills of people working in this sector.

In 2011 practitioners and professionals from governments, donors and NGOs, students and academics, will come together at the WASH 2011 conference to discuss one of the greatest challenges to the water, sanitation and hygiene sector: sustainability.

The WASH conference and training program will focus primarily, but not exclusively, on WASH services provision in developing countries, including: water supply systems (in villages, towns and cities); household scale toilets and sanitation facilities in public and shared areas (such as schools, clinics and markets); and hygiene promotion from community-based to campaign approaches.
