Dear all

Just a quick reminder for our meeting on Tuesday and an IMPORTANT correction.
The meeting will take place from 13.30 to 15.30 (and not from 14.00 as previously announced) in the Room 352, Nora Latin Building, City Conference Centre Stockholm (at the World Water Week Venue), Barnhusgatan 7b, Stockholm (same place as last year).

See you there,

Dorothee

Perfect! So let it be

#22susanaCapDev

The official SuSanA meeting hashtag is #22susana . We could use #22susanaCapDev What do you think?

Best regards,

Doreen

I am sure your topic will be discussed in the second half of the meeting!
Great idea for twittering.
What about
- StockholmWWW_WG1meeting
- StockholmWWW_CapDev
- CapDev_SDG
Any better suggestion? sorry I am not a twitter pro...
What is the official SuSanA meeting hastag? We could build on this one...

Dear Dorothee,

I look forward to attending the WG 1 meeting! One of the main topics I would like us to discuss is how best to continuously build the capacity of water sector professionals and private sector service providers (e.g.registered emptiers).

I think we need a hashtag for this event so that we can tweet about it to those who will be unable to attend.

Best regards,

Doreen

Dear all

Find enclosed the agenda for the upcoming meeting. We are going to have two parts of the meeting: first some exciting presentation:

• Role of youth in SDG 6-9
• Business Development & Business Matchmaking Services
• About the dimensions of capacity and change in time

...followed by an interactive workshop on "Capacity gaps and the SDG’s" and "Addressing Capacity Building Challenges"(organized by CAWST and seecon).

The outcome of the discussion will directly be posted here in this thread!

Stay tuned Dorothee

Dear Dorothee,

I hope this mail finds you well. Greetings from Kenya. To introduce myself, am a water & environmental engineer with over ten years in WASH infrastructure and programming with masters in project planning &management and environmental health engineering from university of Nairobi. Currently am a WASH Program Manager for Sustainable Africa an organization working in 15 counties in Kenya promoting access to water and sanitation for schools and communities through promotion of rainwater harvesting by roof catchment; rock catchment; sand dams; weirs;earth dams and sanitation with hygiene promotion & MHM activities.

To clarify your query on ("the need for the players in the sector to get the right persons")? i meant that in WASH project a big part of the budget goes to infrastructure development and the need for organizations to have engineers manage them from baseline to feasibility through design construction supervision and commission should be given a consideration and of interest if the next goals have to be met and not just relegated to technical duties alone. From experience, I have seen many WASH project in developing countries not functional as they are not working or meeting the demand for the need. A simple reason,could be not well done feasibility study to determine the demand for the need for a projected future use. hence factors like future populations not factored hence failure of the project and wastage of resources. With this and among other reasons, like leaking masonry tanks not holding water; collapsing latrines within a year of construction calls for more focused capacity development with sharing experience of what works, why it worked, what can be done better on methodologies and approaches across the different organizations in infrastructure development and sustainable service delivery.

I am sorry will not be able to attend the WG1 meeting in Stockholm but hope to follow up the discussion online from your reports.

Keep up the good works.
Cheers,
Bertha

Honorable Dear Dorothee Spuhler, Warmly Greetings from Pakistan

May i ask either we can add this topic in our upcoming SuSanA Capacity Development Working Group meeting at Stockholm WWW 2016, Tuesday 30 August from 14.00- 15.30h please?
Secondly may i ask to also incorporate role of youth and their inclusion in the sanitation development please?
I will be also participating in this meeting and hope to share my experience being a young professional especially my experience of my Participation in 3rd International Faecal Sludge Management (3FSM) Conference during the meetings.
Stay Blessed in All walks of your life.
Love and Looking forward to your soonest kind response Please.

Dear Bertha

Thank you very much for your contribution.
Could you tell us more about you?
Who are you and where are you working?

We at seecon also made the experience, that specifying the capacity needs and then seek specifically for profiles which potentially fits those is key for effectively identifying gaps and develop new capacities. These matchmaking activities have also the advantage of reveal hidden capacities.

It would be interesting to know more about your experiences specifically regarding this first comment in your post ("the need for the players in the sector to get the right persons")?

And...Will you be able to attend the WG1 meeting in Stockholm?

Cheers, Dorothee
