Good meeting, The meetings seem to be excluding other member from far. I hope much effort would be done to bring them to meetings next time.

Congratulations to the group!!!
I am really impressed by the summary that reveals that there was lot of energy in the meeting .
What an interesting exposé of presentations and great to learn more about ongoing initiatives.
I know when I collected the cap dev initiatives for first sustainable sanitation Cap Dev factsheet 12 years ago. Those initiatives were easily counted on my two hands.
Now look at the change and the power we have to make a change.
I am so sorry I was not able to participate but I had to attend a meeting with my director.
I will follow the development of the factsheet .
Keep it up
Warmest regards to you all!

Dear SuSanA WG 1 members,

Another WG 1 – Capacity Development meeting took place during Stockholm World Water Week on 27th August from 2-4 pm at the Quality Globe Hotel. The meeting started by getting a feeling of who is in the room; out of the 33 participants of the meeting, there were representatives from NGOs, INGOs, Research Institutes, Government, private sector. Also, the type of capacity building showed a wide range - there were technical skills, institutional (planning, financing), organisational development, advocacy, public awareness, business development. Lastly, there was a good balance between “newcomers” to WG meetings and long term SuSanA members.

Please find below:
1. Expectation of meeting participants

4. Outcomes of the session on planning for an updated factsheet of Working Group 1: A first small group is established, in case you are also interested in contributing to the update of the SuSanA Capacity Development Factsheet, please contact the working group leads (This email address is being protected from spambots.

o Make more infographics and visuals and less text. 8 pages is too long for a factsheet
What should be removed or added regarding the suggested the structure?
o Integrate information on SDG 6.3.1
o Add background on SuSanA
o Technical and practical skills for masons are missing
o Monitoring tools or indicators
o Overview of technology types, where capacity building is available
o Factsheet should be one page, make logo smaller and summary
Who could contribute to what?
o A first small group is established, in case you are also interested in contributing to the update of the SuSanA Capacity Development Factsheet, please contact the working group leads (This email address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you Franziska for digging this out.
I have a few similar lists from past meeting with "hot topics" for the WG. But personally, I would like to focus on the factsheet. Some of these "hot topics" could also be taken up in a paragraph of our new factsheet?
Personally my favorite topic is and has always been:
"how to monitor and evaluate impact of capacity development" which is very much linked to this discussion: forum.susana.org/10-announcements-regard...impact-on-sanitation
Cheers, Dorothee

Hi Dorothee and all,

yesterday I stumbled upon a list and priorization from the SuSanA Core Group Meeting in January 2017. In a Brainstorming Exercise Core group members could suggest topics and activities for all 13 WGs and then “vote” for them by putting stickers next to the activities they consider most important. This list could be revisited in drafting the agenda and/or during the meeting.

It can be found for all other WGs here: www.susana.org/files/20170116_meeting-mi...uSanA-Core-Group.pdf

Working Group 1: Capacity Development

Topic (Votes)
How to communicate with and involve the "wastewater" sector on sustainable sanitation? (6)
Building capacities of businesses and entrepreneurs (3)
Vocational training (2)
Identify capacity gaps for different categories of SuSanA members/partners and developing work plans on how to address these (2)
Strengthening civil society, particularly human rights and implications for practice (1)
WASH and Nutrition (1)
Consider different levels of capacity development (from the individual to institutional) (0)

Best regards,
Franziska
