Environmental Mainstreaming in WASH
This course has been delivered several times in Germany and other countries. While no further training sessions are currently planned, the training materials are available for experienced trainers to adapt and use in designing their own courses.
The course equips WASH professionals with the knowledge and practical tools to systematically integrate environmentally sustainable and climate-resilient approaches into humanitarian WASH programmes. Its aim is to help reduce negative environmental impacts while strengthening climate resilience in humanitarian interventions.
It is designed for humanitarian WASH professionals involved in programme planning, implementation, or capacity building who want to make their projects more environmentally sustainable and climate resilient.
The training consists of eight modules covering environmentally sustainable and climate-resilient WASH design, including water supply, sanitation, and hygiene, with a strong emphasis on localisation and strengthening the capacities of local actors.
The training materials are available to download here.
The materials can easily be adapted and enriched with your own photos, exercises, and case studies to reflect your specific project context. If you have any questions or require additional support, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The training material was developed within the ECT WASH Project, funded by the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO). Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund, arche nova e.V. and the German Toilet
Organization e.V, implement the programme in countries particularly affected by climate change and natural disasters across Africa, Asia, the MENA region, and Central America & the Caribbean.
