WEDC & WSP online learning course – Rural Sanitation at Scale – now in French The Water Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) of Loughborough University, UK, in partnership with the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) of the World Bank, have launched a French version of a self-paced online course that addresses the important global challenges facing the water and sanitation sector.
The English version of the course, titled Rural Sanitation at Scale, was launched in March this year. The course features as a unit in WEDC’s master’s (MSc) program, and is offered free-of-charge as a non-accredited professional development unit for sector professionals interested in learning more about the issues of scaling-up sanitation in rural areas.
Availability of the course in French, called l’assainissement rural à grande échelle, gives access to French speaking water and sanitation practitioners (including students and government decision-makers), mostly in Franco-phone speaking countries in Africa, to enroll for the course in their own language.

Dear Colleagues,
A reminder that this online course available in both English and French is free of charge. I would be grateful if you would post it round to other colleagues who may be interested.
Thank you
Kind regards

Rod

Cours en ligne: l'assainissement rural à grande échelle

Le Water, Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) de l’Université de Loughborough, en partenariat avec le Programme Eau et assainissement de la Banque mondiale (WSP), a lancé, en début 2013,ce cours d’autoformation en ligne qui répond au problème du développement à grande échelle de l’assainissement rural dans les pays en voie de développement.

Ce cours constitue une unité d’enseignement du master du WEDC, mais il est également disponible gratuitement pour les professionnels du secteur. Il est aussi disponible en anglais!

Le cours comprend 3 parties :

1. Place le problème de l’assainissement rural dans son contexte, en expliquant les aspects majeurs de la problématique de l’assainissement et les raisons pour lesquelles, jusqu’à présent, les projets, programmes et politiques mis en oeuvre n’ont pas réussi à en généraliser l’accès.

2. Examine la théorie du changement sur lequel repose fondamentalement la pérennité des programmes, en détaillant notamment les deux premiers des trois « piliers » nécessaires au changement : la création
d’une demande et l’existence d’une filière d’approvisionnement.

3. Poursuit l’exploration de la théorie du changement en s’intéressant aux différents éléments contribuant à former un environnement favorable, puis traite de la manière dont les trois piliers du changement s’articulent et des mesures à prendre pour accélérer un programme d’assainissement à grande échelle.
L’étude de chaque partie prend environ une heure, hors lectures complémentaires, et s’appuie sur différents supports, y compris diaporamas, vidéos, animations, photos et schémas, et des références bibliographiques disponibles en ligne. Une attestation de formation est délivrée à la fin du test d’évaluation.

Online Learning Course: Rural Sanitation at Scale

The Water, Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) of Loughborough University, in partnership with the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) of the World Bank, launched, in early 2013, this self-paced online course that addresses the important global challenges facing the water and sanitation sector.

The course is featured as a unit in WEDC's master's (MSc) program but is also available free of charge for sector professionals. And now also available in French!

The course is organized into 3 parts:

Part 1 -- Sets the challenge of scaling up rural sanitation in context, examining fundamental aspects of sanitation provision and the reasons why, up to now, the goal of sanitation at scale has proved elusive.

Part 2 -- Examines the core theory of change for sustainable programmes. In particular it looks at the first two of three key components or “pillars” required for change: the creation of demand and the supply chain.

Part 3 -- Continues to explore the core theory of change, focusing on the enabling environment. The unit concludes with a discussion of how the three pillars of change fit together and what steps are necessary to take an “at-scale” program forward.

Each section takes approximately 1 hour of study, excluding associated reading, and is delivered using a variety of media including slides, film clips, animations, photography, and graphics supported by selected online publications. A Certificate of Completion is awarded on successful completion of the unit assessment.
