The
SSWM Toolbox is an open-source capacity development tool for the local level, linking water management, sanitation and agriculture.
Recently, several new chapters were added, providing entry points and tailored information on a particular topic or specific group of users. These Specific Topic Entry Pages (STEPs) offer tailor-made "mini SSWM Toolboxes" with a focus on a specific topic or region, compiling an overview on the relevant resources available and amended with background and content within the field of SSWM. Both the concepts presented within the STEP, as well as the linked information from the SSWM Toolbox, are complemented with further readings, awareness raising and training material, case study documentation, ready-made PowerPoint presentations and a glossary.
So far,
six STEPs have been added:
- The SSWM Course for Universities developed in collaboration with the Norwegian University of Life Science: STEP University
- The Training-of-Trainers
- The chapter on SSWM in Sub-Saharan Africa, developed in collaboration with GIZ Zambia, the
Water and Sanitation Association of Zambia (WASAZA) and Cap-Net: STEP Sub-Saharan Africa - Business Development in SSWM, compiled in collaboration with the international centre for water management services (cewas) and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI): STEP Business Development
- The chapter on urban sanitation, developed in collaboration with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, as part of the programme “Support to the National Urban Sanitation Policy in India”: STEP SNUSP
These STEPs will continuously be updated and completed, further STEPs being planned (such as "emergency preparedness and response" and "sanitation systems").
