Event Regional Workshops on the Right to Water and Sanitation in Emergencies

The purpose of each workshop is to improve the capacity of all stakeholders involved to respond to emergency situations by developing their knowledge and understanding of the Right to Water and Sanitation in Emergencies and by enabling them to build up rights-based advocacy activities.

Training Description:
It is expected that, as a result of the workshops, the capacity of humanitarian actors to advocate for the rights of individuals to water and sanitation in emergencies will have been improved – leading to better respect of the rights of the individuals concerned and, therefore, to better access to water and sanitation by populations caught up in and affected by emergencies.
