SuSanA's road map towards more sustainable sanitation practices

The Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA) is a network of over 100 multiand bilateral organisations, NGOs, businesses, governmental and research institutions active in the field of sustainable sanitation. The network was formed in 2007, initially mainly to support sustainable sanitation approaches for the UN International Year of Sanitation in 2008. After having set up a number of working groups, produced a website, several fact sheets and other documents it has now become clear that the partners wish to continue with the SuSanA work beyond 2009 as well. This paper introduces the network and its structure, its definition of sustainable sanitation, the goals and objectives of SuSanA and presents a road map for the network including the status of the twelve thematic working groups.
