I am Lydia, a GIZ-intern in Morocco working on the National Rural Sanitation Program in this country. I just found out about this project, which could be very interesting for all of you working in the Arab World : www.arabterm.org/index.php?id=3&L=1, a website that translates water technology terms, among them are many sanitation terms, into four languages (German, English, French, Arabic). Everybody can use it, and it’s for free!
If you have any comments or questions about the project, or want to contribute to make it better known feel free to contact its team at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Thanks and Best regards,

It does not happen often that someone recommends UNESCO-IHE as the cheaper option.. thanks for that! We still offer the online course in Ecosan, however due to increased costs the price is now 600. Once you have done one course, you get a reduction for the next ones.

What could also be interesting for you is that we are working on offering an online MSc study (following any suitable BSc degree) in Sanitary Engineering. As all our courses are credited, you will be able to use the credits that you gain now for any Sanitary Engineering MSc pursuit you make take up in the future. The credits stay valid for 5 years.

The next online ecosan starts in March, and you can still sign up for that. If you wish to apply for a scholarship (the Dutch government offers a limited number) you should apply now for joining the next course. You can contact my colleague Stephanie Petitjean under the email address onlinecourse[ad]unesco-ihe.org, or check the procedures on our website.

Good luck in your endeavours!
Best regards,
Mariska.]]> WG 1 (cap. development) Tue, 05 Feb 2013 07:50:10 +0000 http://forum.susana.org/forum/categories/54-wg-1-cap-development/3344-looking-for-a-college-offering-onlinedistant-learning-masters-in-water-sanitation-and-environment#3363 http://forum.susana.org/forum/categories/54-wg-1-cap-development/3344-looking-for-a-college-offering-onlinedistant-learning-masters-in-water-sanitation-and-environment#3363
I would recommend the WEDC programs, either the Water and Environmental Management, or Water and Waste Engineering MSc programs, both offered on site at WEDC or by distance learning.

Maybe WEDC,UK is a good option for you too: wedc.lboro.ac.uk/learn/learn300.html,
if too expensive maybe UNESCO-IHE in NL is an alternative.
As an MSc. I made in the past at UNESCO-IHE an on-line-course "ecosan" for 500EUR I guess, with MS Elisabeth v. Muench as the course Head Teacher. I am still gaining on this good experiences and text books...

One way to contribute would be to prepare a joint WG1 statement in order to put capacity development on the agenda.
Would you contribute to such a statement?

For instance: we could suggest targets within the water theme capacity development where capacity development would play an important roles and indicators that would allow to measure this?
Is this a possible approach?
Or is there another way to integrated capacity development within the existing structure of the theme of WASH, water resources and wastewater management?
What are your thoughts?

Regards

Dorothee
