Regional Workshops on the Right to Water and Sanitation in Emergencies, 5-6 February 2009, Kenya, Nairobi
Keywords: Cursuri & Conferinte
Tags: sanitation water health advocacy human rights
The target group includes field staff and policy-makers from UN agencies, International and National/Local NGOs, the Red Cross/Red Crescent Movements and Government representatives involved in one or more of the following activities: Advocacy; Human rights; Emergency relief issues; Water, sanitation and hygiene related issues; Please note that workshops are not intended solely for water and sanitation specialists and that a diversity of profiles will be sought for each one.
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.
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.
