SUMMARY:Virtual Training Course on City-Wide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS)
DESCRIPTION:An Outline for the Online CWIS Training  \nBackground \nCitywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS) is a public service approach aimed at advancing safe\, equitable\, and sustained services for all focusing on reaching to women\, girls and low-income communities by strengthening the design and implementation of core system functions. Along the conventional approaches in sanitation sector\, integrating all the aspects of human life that have direct or indirect linkage with the sector is the main concept of the CWIS approach. CWIS is a new approach in sanitation sector and its concept is evolving on the regular basis. The learning on the concept itself along with the experiences across the region for the implementation of the CWIS approach is a great initiative to expand the knowledge on CWIS. With the frequent updates on the topic\, sanitation professionals are also required to be updated on such new ideas like CWIS. \nAn orientation/sensitization training has been planned by FANSA Regional Secretariat for its FNASA member countries to make them understand and aware on the CWIS principles and approach so that they could work within their countries for promoting CWIS for achieving inclusive\, equitable and safely managed sanitation services. The CSO members that are engaged in the implementation of “Rising for the Rights” project are the participants of this online training programme. \nThis training module is designed to provide a basic understanding on core concepts on CWIS to sanitation rights activists who are engaged in promoting CWIS at the implementation level. This module will provide a basic understanding on core concepts of CWIS and sensitize the target audience for creating an enabling environment with needed regulatory framework and policy along with the institutional setup. This training module will help the participants to understand the CWIS approach and create an enabling environment to voice for the required regulatory framework and policy along with the institutional setup. \nResource Agencies \nThe resource persons or the sanitation experts with the ToT level of training are expected to deliver this training package to the targeted audiences. This training package will be organized by FANSA with the technical lead of ITN-BUET and ENPHO. The training will be delivered by the qualified and experienced resource persons from the following organizations: \n\nITN-BUET\nENPHO\nASCI\nPractical Action\n\nBill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) has assigned ITN-BUET and ENPHO as the Capacity Building Hub (CB Hub) for the South and South-East Asia (except India) for developing capacity in planning and implementing safely managed sanitation through CWIS approach in the region. Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI) has been assigned for delivering the same in India. Practical Action\, a UK-based international NGO\, has in-depth experience of planning and implementing CWIS in several cities in South Asia. \nExpected Outcomes \nIt is expected that the online training course will ensure enhanced understandings on: \n\nCWIS as a plausible solution to the complex urban sanitation paradigm\nCWIS Principles and Service Framework in city sanitation planning and implementation\nUrban sanitation technologies in the context of CWIS\nCWIS Service Outcomes (Equity\, Safety\, Sustainability) and System Functions (Responsibility\, Accountability\, Resource Planning and Management)\nInstitutional and regulatory framework for enabling CWIS\nMonitoring and improving CWIS\n\n  \nDates and Times of the Training \nThe following dates and time have been proposed and is subjected to change with the availability of the training facilitators. \n\nTraining Dates: \n\nMay 04\, 2023 Pre-training Session – Registration\, Moodle Log-in and Brief on Moodle Platform\nMay 08 – 10\, 2023 (Days 1 – 3)\nMay 15 – 17\, 2023 (Days 4 – 6)\n\n\n\n\nTraining Time: Maximum 3 Hrs Per Day (2 PM – 5 PM NST)

SUMMARY:International online training on Rainwater Harvesting System
DESCRIPTION:Why rainwater harvesting? \nRainwater harvesting provides a cost-effective and practical solution to reduce water crisis in both rural and urban contexts. In urban areas\, at a household level\, rainwater can be used for flushing toilets\, watering gardens\, washing floors\, and other non-potable purposes\, thereby reducing dependency on existing water supply sources such as groundwater. By managing rainwater\, the pressure on urban drainage systems could be reduced\, and urban water-logging could be avoided. It can provide an alternate water source to industries and business needs\, as well. \nPractitioners\, planners\, academicians\, industrialists\, students\, researchers\, and policymakers working on water and environmental issues need to be sensitised and capacitated on rainwater harvesting systems to tackle the water crisis and ensure future water security. \nMany initiatives and programmes have recently been promoting rainwater harvesting systems in urban and industrial buildings. Incorporating rainwater management as a separate chapter in the Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) 2020 emphasises its significance. In this regard\, International Training Network Centre\, BUET (ITN-BUET) and WaterAid Bangladesh are organising the International Online Training on Rainwater Harvesting System. \nLearning Objective \nThe participants will get the opportunity to learn from the experiences of technical experts\, academicians and professionals from Bangladesh and abroad who have experience in implementing the program. The participants shall have exposure to and a better understanding of: \n\nUrban and industrial water challenges and importance of rainwater harvesting.\nPrinciples of rainwater harvesting and its components.\nPlanning\, designing\, construction\, maintenance and monitoring of rainwater harvesting systems and Groundwater recharge structures.\nSimplified cost-benefit analysis approach for rainwater harvesting.\nWater safety plan and LEED certification for rainwater harvesting system.\nRainwater harvesting focusing on water re-use in industrial settings\n\nDate and location \nThe training will be held from 2-to-22 November 2021 and organised online (24-hour course). \nFees and funding \nBDT 10\,000/- for Bangladeshi citizens\, and US $120 for international participants. Limited funded fellowships are available for this programme. The training fee is inclusive of a training participation fee of BDT 3\,000/- or US $35 USD\, which is compulsory to pay by the selected participants irrespective of partial or full waiver. \nWho can apply? \nEngineers\, architects\, environmentalists\, industrialists\, urban planners\, academicians\, policymakers\, and development practitioners. \nEducational requirement \nApplicants are required to have a bachelor’s degree or diploma as a minimum criteria. \nApplication deadline25 October 2021 \nFunded fellowships available \nWe are offering full or partial funded fellowships for the ‘International Training and Exposure Visit on Rainwater Harvesting System’ to a limited number of deserving candidates with a strong application narrative. Those who are funded by UN agencies and other international agencies are not eligible for the fellowship.
