Dear all,

Please help us: We would like to find out if SuSanA is having useful and positive impacts on your day to day work. We're looking at this from a qualitative viewpoint, not a quantitative one. That means we are looking for "testimonials" or "stories" and examples from you, the SuSanA members.

Collecting such statements from SuSanA members is potentially also useful information for our funders *, for partner organisations that are contributing in-kind and financially to the network, and will be used to promote the value of SuSanA for potential new users (and potential new funders).

We are interested in collecting some examples about how has SuSanA impacted your work. For instance, can you please share your examples of how your involvement in SuSanA has led to:

• New partnerships with other organisations in the WASH sector or beyond
• Grant opportunities discovered
• New directions for your work
• Important critiques or insights
• A new audience for sharing your work
• Discovery of new job opportunities
• Expansion of your personal network
• Learning opportunities, e.g. by following discussions on the forum
• Ability to quickly download or access documents, photos, videos, presentations, posters etc.
• Virtual participation at meetings via Live Streaming
• Other examples??

If you have a testimonial or story with examples to share, please write about it here in this thread. Or, if you would like to share your experience less directly, perhaps even anonymously, you can email me (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) to contribute.

Thank you for your contributions! We look forward to hearing from you!

In case you have ideas how SuSanA could become more impactful for you or for the WASH sector, please also put those suggestions into this thread. Thank you.

Regards,

Sarah
(and Arno Rosemarin, Elisabeth von Muench and Ann-Kathrin Tempel)


* In case you are wondering who the current funders of SuSanA are: it's the German Federal Ministry BMZ via GIZ for the SuSanA secretariat and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for the community moderation of this forum. In addition, working group leads and other members are also funded via their normal employers to spent some of their time on helping to advance SuSanA.
