Интернет курс по городской санитарии

Принимаются заявки на прохождение электронного обучающего курса по Городской санитарии.

Applications are open for the first session of a new e-learning course
in urban sanitation.

The first session of this course will be facilitated between 23rd
March and 15th May 2009. This first run is primarily intended for
candidates affiliated with organizations from Asia and the Pacific
dedicated to training and capacity building in their country or
region.

The course consists of 4 modules:

Module 1 — Introduction to Sanitation

Module 2 — Economics, Pricing and Financing of the Sanitation Sector

Module 3 — Institutional Aspects of the Sanitation Sector

Module 4 — Key issues in sanitation and poverty

The course will enable participants to identify the benefits of
sanitation and analyze costs and financing of sanitation services,
evaluating service provider options and estimating the benefits and
limits of private sector participation in sanitation. Participants
will also be able to integrate accountability when structuring
relationships, examining the role of communities and microfinance
organizations in extending sanitation services to the poor. At the end
of the course, participants will thus be able to recommend successful
strategies and actions at the local level for reforms towards
sanitation improvement.

The course is organized by the The United Nations Economic and Social
Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the United Nations
Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR)
