Community-Based Sanitation - Lessons Learned from SANIMAS Programme in Indonesiaby Water Environment Partnership in AsiaPublication The main objective of this policy brief is to review Indonesia’s experience in managing urban wastewater in the context of low sewer coverage, with a special focus on communitybased sanitation programmes, namely SANIMAS. Based on this experience, positive outcomes will be identified and shared among policymakers and water professionals of local and national governments, potential international donor agencies, as well as entities from other countries planning to mainstream community-based sanitation as a sustainable sanitation solution for the urban poor in other densely populated areas of Asia. |

Locking Carbon in Wetlands: Enhancing Climate Action by Including Wetlands in NDCsby Alliance for Global Water AdaptationPublication AGWA, together with Wetlands International, has published the report with three goals in mind: 1) to illustrate the scientific rationale behind the use of wetlands as a climate mitigation tool; 2) to demonstrate the prevalence and function of wetlands across landscapes and geographies; and 3) to provide a set of clear policy recommendations that will enable Parties to the UNFCCC to conserve, restore and wisely use wetlands by incorporating them into their climate mitigation plans. The report and associated policy recommendations are designed to support countries in developing revised and enhanced NDCs that benefit economies, ecosystems, communities and biodiversity through climate-smart wetland management. |
