Collaboration on ACP-EU Call
20 April, 2010 - 11:17 — David WillisHi,
I‘m writing with regard to the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion for the Millennium Development Goals Call for Proposals. I was wondering whether anyone was actively working on this, or had a connection to anyone who is?
We are an NGO (The German Toilet Organization based in Berlin) with a wealth of experience in hygiene promotion in LDCs and most recently have developed, through funding from the UN, an educational programme called “My School Loo”, which has been successfully rolled out across a number of schools in the Philippines. We would very much like to develop this concept further and would ideally like to find partners specialising in sanitation/water construction with whom we could share expertise and make a combined proposal under the abovementioned call. You can see examples of the type of materials we have to offer at www.sanitation-is-dignity.org
If anyone is interested, please don’t hesitate to get in touch so we can discuss this further.
Best wishes,
David
