Mr. Alex Akaka, Health Inspector at Mityana, District Local Government, Uganda.
The training was well curated and managed. The major take away was the need for greywater treatment cum management and ways to do it. The facilitators were able to explain well and in simple understandable language. The materials were well connected and could be easily understood and based on the current problems associated with greywater management.

We appreciate to include a training module on awareness generation among communities for management of greywater at the household level. A module on proposal writing was requested to source funds for greywater management.
