Origins and rationale of network
Motivated by the UN's decision to declare 2008 as the International Year of Sanitation (IYS), a number of organisations active in the field of sanitation decided in 2007 to form an open network on Sustainable Sanitation to support the IYS.
Objectives
Contribute to the achievement of the MDGs by promoting sanitation systems which take into consideration all aspects of sustainability; raise awareness of what sustainable sanitation solutions are and promote them on a large scale; highlight the key role of sanitation for achieving a whole series of MDGs showing how sustainable sanitation systems should be planned with the participation of all stakeholders and go hand in hand with hygiene promotion; aim at a paradigm shift in sanitation by the promotion of reuse-oriented sanitation approaches without compromising health.
