Dear Kisarenge,

I believe the list of trainings that Dan has shared generally accounts for trainings that are taking place in different locations, by different training institutions ( and due to the current pandemic, I can only assume most, if not all are online-based courses). 

What i would advise you to do, is you visit each of the links shared by Dan to find out more details about the different trainings and then select what works for you. There is a diverse range of topics, start dates, duration, fee structure etc.. 

Regards,
Chaiwe

In kenya where are this training conducted or this organization is not on kenya coz I've been trying to find out so that I can be part of the training, thank you.

Hello Dan, 

Thank you for actively disseminating sanitation related events! We will be contacting you shortly via email with more information on how to add an event directly to the SuSanA event calendar. 

For anyone who would like to share sanitation related events of interest, please do not hesitate to send them to us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We would then publish them directly on Upcoming events - Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA)

Thank you! 

Kind regards,
Salua

Thanks Elisabeth, I would be glad to add events to the calendar

Hi Alejandra,

What is the link to the courses database that you mentioned? I found your website but not a list of courses: www.ircwash.org/wash-systems-academy

Also, the WASH Systems Academy deserves its own forum thread, don't you think? Do tell us more about it, also about how it's funded. I see the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation mentioned.

Hi Dan,

Have you tried adding events to the SuSanA events calendar yourself? The secretariat can give you access. Do you think that would be a feasible route or too cumbersome?

Earlier in the thread you had mentioned a Google doc. Is that this the current place where you want to maintain the list? If so, it would be useful if you made it read-only access (so that people don't have to request sharing permission just to view it). I mean this one:
docs.google.com/document/d/1xf5-UpMMwIwr...MNJaX4-d_PjyLaE/edit

Regards,
Elisabeth

P.S. I have merged the old thread into this one as I think they belong together.

Hello Dan, 

This list is very valuable and comprehensive. 
Thank you very much for sharing it. 

As part of the WASH Systems Academy of IRC, we have been doing a list of similar training.
It is a database that contains details in regards not only to the courses themselves, but also the targeted audiences, fees, partnerships, and platforms. 
How can I contribute and share it? 

Thanks a lot! 

Dear Salua

That is a good idea and I will be sure to forward events to you for the calendar.

Best regards,
Dan

Dear Dan, 

Thank you for your active participation on the forum and your willingness to help disseminate interesting courses and events. You may already be aware of the sanitation events calendar, found in the news and events section of the SuSanA platform . We try to keep it as up to date as possible by including all upcoming and relevant courses and events. Feel free to send any missing events to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. so that we can add it. Please note that SuSanA partner organisations also have access to the sanitation calendar, and can upload events as well.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

Salua, on behalf of SuSanA

Hi Elisabeth

Thanks for your note. If you would like to set up a Courses/Training Events on SuSanA I would be glad to keep it updated with new educational/training resources.

We had to limit editing permissions on the google document but I just sent you an email that gives you access.

Best regards,
Dan

Hi Dan,

I am just wondering if that's the same list that you had mentioned in your forum post here last year which you had called "An inventory of WASH training events and resources":
forum.susana.org/54-wg-1-capacity-develo...urces?start=12#28965

(and I tried to access the Google Doc list that you had linked from there but it asked me to request access first)

I think your list is useful, I am just wondering if we can have one "centralised" list that is easy to access and find.
SuSanA also has an events calendar on its website here:
www.susana.org/en/news-and-events/sanita...ents/upcoming-events
(but that one is for events, not necessarily for regular courses).

I am just wondering out loud what the best place would be to make sure that anyone who is searching for courses can easily find what they are looking for. 

Regards,
Elisabeth
