Hi all,
I finally made my way to the end of the YouTube livestream clip on the SFD exchange meeting in Stockholm. Whether you're an SFD-aficionado or not, I strongly recommend watching it, especially the discussions at about the 1 hour mark, and the 4 hour mark.
There are some excellent comments by SFD experts, too many to repeat here, but the main point, repeated again and again throughout the meeting, is that the SFD is an "overly-simplistic tool", by design, where the main objective is to "shock" decision-makers into a discussion on the sanitation problem in their cities, and open their minds as to the non-sewered sanitation paradigm, i.e. FSM.
The broad spectrum of collaborators and programs which use the SFD, or tools like it, is very encouraging, and I look forward to learning more about its use as the tool evolves in the years to come.
Thanks to everyone who was there, for such an open and stimulating discussion.
Best regards,
Anthony.

Awesome, thanks for the reminder. I clicked on the link and then on the Youtube picture and it works! I am listening to it now.
This is the way to go for the future!

Hi there,

Just following up if there is any chance that this SFD exchange meeting might be streamed for those that are not able to make it to the Stockholm World Water Week this year?

I would love to be a part of this.

All the best
