Dear all,

We are happy to share with you a report that we recently published entitled: "Building Demand for Sanitation - A 2015 Portfolio Update and Overview". I attach it below and you can also find it here in the SuSanA library:
www.susana.org/en/resources/library/details/2317

The content for this report was collected during and after our grantee convene in Hanoi just after the FSM3 Conference in Hanoi in January 2015.

For anyone interested in our work in the segment "Building Demand for Sanitation" (BDS) this should be an enormously valuable resource, and a great snapshot and synthesis of some of the key learning and thinking from the foundation's BDS portfolio (which is part of our water, sanitation, hygiene (WSH) portfolio).

Jan Willem Rosenboom wrote in the preface of the report:

The report that follows attempts to outline what the Foundation and its BDS partners are doing to help meet these challenges and move the world towards universal sanitation. Naturally, it is impossible to capture everything that these individuals and organizations are accomplishing. However, I hope that readers will be inspired by it, and if particularly interested in certain topics, projects or organizations-they can use the contact information provided to find out more.

The document contains profiles and status updates for 22 BDS grants with the following project titles (many of these grants have already been discussed in some depth here on the discussion forum, and links to those threads are included below):
