Re: Set up a Wash Municipal Community of Practice : Call for contribution
Dear Muniwash team,
This is a fantastic initiative. I think local experiences can help a great deal in taking the WASH agenda forward. For example, the Devanhalli FSTP near Bangalore in India has been visited by many local governments where FSM has now been commissioned or in the process of planning.
Could you please elaborate a bit on how is the working of the CoP envisaged? Will it meet on a regular basis (face to face or over zoom), how will the members interact between such meetings, etc. How will the good practices be identified and will they be documented by the local actors or by the Muniwash team or some other organisation?
As a moderator, my suggestion is to integrate the use of the forum and the SuSanA library with the CoP's functioning. The CoP members could be encouraged to engage with the larger sector through the forum. The local knowledge produced by the CoP including the documented best practices would reach a wider audience through the library (true even if the publications are in French, the official language of both the countries according to Wikipedia)
