Evening Side Event

Convenor: International Foundation for Science (IFS)

This event addresses knowledge and research originating from developing countries. The expertise at the local level should be promoted, enhanced and brought into the water and sanitation agenda. But there is often a lack of focus on this issue. At the event, researchers and other stakeholders will present project results on water and sanitation and discuss what they see as the challenges for the future. In addition, the convenors will contribute with their experiences from capacity enhancing activities, with an emphasis on scientific capacity. An open discussion on previous experiences and ways forward will follow the presentations.
