Support for early career researchers to attend WEDC Conference 2018
The CLTS Knowledge Hub is pleased to announce that we have funding available to support a small number of early career practitioners and/or researchers to attend and present at the 41st WEDC International Conference 9-13 July 2018 at Egerton University, Nakuru, Kenya. The funding will cover all costs related to conference registration, travel, accommodation and food. The theme of this year’s conference is Transformation towards sustainable and resilient WASH services. Those selected will be expected to write a paper and present it at the conference, attend the CLTS Knowledge Hub’s pre-conference Sharing and Learning Workshop on July 8th, help support the Hub’s CLTS related stall throughout the week and write a blog about their experience and reflections from the conference.
Focus/themes
Papers should focus on innovations, experience, ideas and learning contributing to further thinking about CLTS and other community-wide behaviour change approaches. We are most interested on papers that focus on:
- Implementing CLTS at scale
- How sanitation programming has ensured equity and inclusion
- Challenges to and lessons learnt using CLTS
- Ways of integrating CLTS into other programming
- Using CLTS in different contexts
- Building learning into sanitation and hygiene programmes
Criteria for applicants

- Papers must be submitted to WEDC by February 16th 2018 and pass through their review process. A limited amount of support from the Hub will be given for this.
