HANWASH: Rotary-Led Advocacy: A Model for Improving WASH Access in Haiti

Chair: Ryan Rowe
Over the last 50 years, Rotary International, an organization with 1.2 million members in 35,000 local Clubs, has been a leader in the eradication of polio. This success is based on Rotarians conducting advocacy, raising funds, and volunteering their time to vaccinate children in national mass immunization campaigns. The key message of our event is that sustainable WASH is possible in Haiti and local advocates can unlock this; our objective is to invite challenges and suggestions for testing and improving our work. This event is convened jointly by the Rotary Club of Les Cayes, Haiti Outreach, and HANWASH. Visit our agency page for more information.
World Bank & SNV: Tools to Institutionalize Effective OHS along the Sanitation Chain

Chair: Ndeye Awa Diagne
As the momentum to achieve SDG6 builds, the working conditions and safety of formal and informal workers along the sanitation chain are in danger of being overlooked, particularly in LMICs. This event will underline that providing city-wide improved sanitation services cannot compromise sanitation workers’ health and dignity. This event comprises presentations, breakout group sessions and a panel discussion. Visit our agency page for more information.
