Do you want to learn how to plan affordable and context-specific sanitation solutions? Be up-to-date on the newest developments in urban sanitation planning and programming? Get to know best practice examples of urban sanitation systems in low- and middle-income countries? If yes, this course is for you!
This course provides you with an introduction to integrated sanitation planning, both on a citywide scale and for specific contexts such as informal settlements. You will become familiar with different sanitation planning frameworks as well as different systems and technologies relevant along the sanitation value chain. You will learn why systems’ thinking is crucial for urban environmental sanitation, and how to apply key terminology and important concepts. This course is one of four in the series “Sanitation, Water and Solid Waste for Development". www.eawag.ch/mooc

It is indeed a great course, learned a lot about different technologies, products and holistic approach required for sanitation planning and of course its too heavy to digest :)
VN
Good learning course for environmental engineer but in my point of view it mostly theoretical and requires more animation picture and videos to make it more effective
MS
The course is very well prepared for beginner and intermediate participants and will give more elaborate discussions about sanitation techniques and technologies. I am very happy to did the course.
