The online course ‘Integrity and Regulation in Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS)’ addresses important issues in sanitation services, focusing on integrity, regulatory frameworks, and social inclusion. The course is a collaborative effort among the Water Integrity Network (WIN), ITN-BUET, and ESAWAS. Sanitation plays a vital role in safeguarding public health and ensuring environmental sustainability, yet many regions struggle to provide equitable and effective services. These challenges are often compounded by integrity risks, regulatory gaps, and social inequalities. This course is designed to help participants navigate these complexities by introducing key concepts such as Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS), integrity in regulation, and Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI). Participants will gain valuable insights into how governance, ethics, and inclusive strategies can improve sanitation services, reduce risks, and ensure equitable access for all.<\/p>\n
By the end of the course, participants will have a clear understanding of how integrity supports the implementation of CWIS projects and how robust regulatory frameworks can ensure inclusive, equitable sanitation, fulfilling the human right to sanitation. The major objectives of the course are as follows:<\/p>\n
This course is organized into four modules, each offering a comprehensive learning experience through a blend of mandatory readings, supplementary resources, and interactive activities. The content includes videos, animations, presentations, readings, and case study documentation to enhance understanding. Participants are encouraged to engage actively by sharing their experiences, asking questions, and participating in vibrant forum discussions for each module.<\/p>\n
The course is structured as follows:<\/p>\n
To progress through the course, participants need to complete quizzes or respond to multiple-choice questions at the end of each module. Successful completion of these assessments is required to move forward to the next module.<\/p>\n
This course is specifically designed for professionals working in the WASH sector, having formal or informal roles in regulatory functions related to sanitation, public health, and the environment. Additionally, the course will be beneficial for decision-makers, city leaders, government officials, academics, practitioners, researchers, and others in related fields.<\/p>\n
Participants will have to apply through the registration link by either clicking on the link or scanning the QR code. The course is offered to a maximum of 50 concurrent participants in each round. Seats are usually filled on a first-come, first-served basis; however, there may be a screening process to identify deserving candidates. Upon approval, registered candidates must complete the course by 30 June 2025. If a participant fails to complete the course within the given time frame or does not log in to the online system for 30 consecutive days, their registration will be cancelled.<\/p>\n
As a self-paced course, participants are welcome to cover the contents modules according to their own timing. The average time required to complete the course is approximately 20 hours, with a total time commitment of 3- 4 weeks. Answering quizzes\/ multiple-choice questions at the end of each module is a condition to move on to the next module, completing the course, and receiving a course certificate. Participants will have three chances to obtain at least 60% correct responses, and in all cases the platform will indicate the wrong answers.<\/p>\n
After completing the 4 modules, participants are invited to answer a short feedback survey of the course. Once this survey is answered, participants may download their certificate. 10 March 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1VWankblWmY11miCq_i0ON_SyHbqmd4xJ\/” button_text=”View Flyer” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.cognitoforms.com\/ITNBUET1\/ApplicationForm” button_text=”Apply Now” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" About the Training The online course ‘Integrity and Regulation in Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS)’ addresses important issues in sanitation services, focusing on integrity, regulatory frameworks, and social inclusion.

Bangladesh National Water Policy 1999 recognises rainwater as the third source of water. In urban areas, rainwater can be used for flushing toilets, watering gardens, washing cars and floors, and other non-potable purposes, thereby reducing dependency on existing water supply sources. At the same time, rainwater harvesting can reduce the pressure on urban drainage system and avoid urban water-logging. Moreover, with the increasing industrial water demand, it can be an alternate water source. To meet international buyers' compliance requirements and maintain factory standards, RMG factories are encouraged to install RWHS in their premises, and the water can be used for industrial production and groundwater recharge.<\/p> Many 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.<\/p> Practitioners, 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. \u00a0In this regard, International Training Network Centre, BUET (ITN-BUET) in collaboration with WaterAid Bangladesh and International Water Association (IWA) Bangladesh are organising the international training and exposure visit 2022 on urban rainwater harvesting system.<\/p> The participants will get the opportunity to learn from national and international technical experts, academicians and professionals who have experience in implementing RWHS. The participants shall have exposure to and a better understanding of:<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> We are offering partial and full fellowships for this international training and exposure visit 2022 on urban rainwater harvesting system to a limited number of deserving candidates.
