About the Training
The main objective of sanitation interventions is to protect and enhance public health. Currently, severalmeasures are being undertaken to improve the sanitation status of developing countries; however most of these initiatives exclude public health. Rather, the focus is on the “hardware” aspect of sanitationwhich primarily includes the provision of services and infrastructure.The planning processes to improvesanitation in most countries fail to integrate “public health” across all spheres.Present interventions call for a convergence of regulatory and institutional aspects to approach sanitation from a holistic perspective which integrates service provision and infrastructure with public health. 

Understanding the need to build capacity of stakeholders for creating a sustainable and livable society, the School of Water and Waste, AAETI, Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) in collaboration with World Health Organisation (WHO) is organizing a 04 day training on “Sanitation Safety Planning”.  This training would highlight the importance of managing and investing in improvement on sanitation systems based on adequate understanding of the actual health risks.Sanitation Safety Planning (SSP) is a risk based management tool for sanitation systems. This tool provides a structure to bring together actors and stakeholders from various sectors to identify health risks in the sanitation systems and agree on improvements and regular monitoring. The approach ensures that control measures target the greatest health risks and emphasize on incremental improvement over time. SSP highlights theintegration of the health sector while reusing wastewater, excreta and greywater, and helps to bring a human health perspective to traditional non-health sectors like sanitation engineering and agriculture sector. 

Aim 
To establish a pool of national and international sanitation players who have in-depth understanding of Sanitation Safety Planning (SSP) key concepts and principles. 

Objectives

• Demonstrate critical knowledge of the sanitation value chain with its functions and challenges, along with stakeholders involved at every stage
• Recognize the various public health risks with respect to waste streams, transmission groups and exposure routes and map control points
• Develop an effective incremental improvement plan
• Create a monitoring mechanism to verify system performance along with an audit framework and management procedures
• To develop peer group relations and links to international SSP experts and peers from different regions for on ground SSP implementation

Training Methodology
The training style is considerably based on the ‘Harvard Case Method’, which conveys teaching messages through interactive practical work done by trainees. The trainings will be focused on experiential learning – including individual/group interaction, practical group exercises, interactions with experts, discussions, field visit, and documentary films to highlight the best management practices successfully implemented.

Field Visit
The training programmewill be accompanied with a field visit to have practical knowledge about the SSP tool.
