Hello,
I just wanted to check if on the Global Sanitation Learning Alliance, FSM alumni grants are still being offered and what the timeline for application and decisions will be.

Another important outcome of IHE's BMGF Capacity Building projects is the launch of a Global Sanitation Learning Alliance.

www.sanitationeducation.org

This is an internet-based platform to facilitate the development and increase the dissemination of knowledge on sanitation.

The Global Sanitation Learning Alliance provides access to high quality graduate educational products on sanitation through online education (in both self-study and instructor-led mode), face-to-face courses and tailor-made training, so that sanitation challenges can be embraced with deeper insight, advanced knowledge and greater confidence. It also provides an enabling environment with a vibrant community of professionals who have completed one or more educational or training courses offered by the Alliance’s members.

On a personal note - in my opinion, the Alliance website does not compete with SuSanA - rather, it complements it. The Alliance is focusing on FSM for the largest part, whereas SuSanA is more about resource oriented approaches (in broad lines). Also, the Alliance is an alumni platform for people having completed one or more educational or training courses with the Alliance members. I can imagine many people (including myself) wanting to be a member of both.

With best regards,
Mariska
