Dear Sujatha,

Welcome to IFMR LEAD as a SuSanA partner! I see that you have already used the forum to place a job ad, which is good:
forum.susana.org/forum/categories/20-job...st-africa-experience

I also checked out your project database, putting in "sanitation" as a keyword. It's a nice project database (ifmrlead.org/projects/). I hope that when you produce interesting reports or studies you will ensure that they also get included in the SuSanA library so that more people can know about them? That would be great.

I found also two of your projects in the SuSanA project database (both of them funded by the Gates Foundation):
www.susana.org/en/resources/projects?search=ifmr

It would be good to find out more about the first one ("Theoretical and practical advantages to applying performance-based payment structures for sanitation service delivery") - we could start a separate discussion thread on that.

Again, welcome as a SuSanA partner!

Regards,
Elisabeth

We would like to welcome the Centre for Development Finance, IFMR LEAD from India as a new SuSanA partner organisation!
