| The International Hydrological Programme's
Special Project on "Women and Water - Resources Supply and Use " has been able
to collect a large amount of data. Even though the project is due to end in December 1999
it is essential that this information be made easily accessible to all women which is why
special attention is being devoted to the dissemination of information and the creation of
learning material. This Web Site is one way of sharing the experience gained and the
documentation produced during the implementation of this Special Project. If you are interested in obtaining any of the following publications, please send a request to the IHP:

CLEAN WATER AND BETTER SANITATION

| This report contains the summary proceedings of the "Regional
Workshop on Gender and Water Supply and Sanitation" held in Pretoria, Republic of
South Africa, in 1997 and also outlines the regional follow-up initially focused on gender
assessments. The Pretoria workshop and the assessments are part of a broader global
Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) Initiative on gender and participation in
community-based water supply and sanitation. The broad objective of the PLA is to improve the capacity of sector agencies to respond to users' demand for water and sanitation services, using gender and poverty-sensitive sharing approaches. This objective was developed based on growing evidence that sustained water and sanitation services rely on peoplesí capability to establish and manage services that fit the particular local circumstances and requirements, rather than using blanket approaches based on pre-determined needs. |
