EcoSan vision workshop in Nairobi, 27 September
The second workshop on the vision for ecosan in Kenya took place in Nairobi on 27 September and dealt with the question on how to bring together the various active stakeholders on ecosan to better mainstream the ecosan approach and fill the gaps in service provision for a more healthy and productive Kenya. It brought together Kenyan institutional and sector players, NGOs, opinion leaders, promoters and entrepreneurs of ecosan and sanitation. It was a forum for presentations on the Kenyan experience on ecosan by different players, for group works and discussions on the future development of ecosan in Kenya.
The ecosan vision workshop in Nairobi was facilitated successfully by Kenyan ecosan experts and consultants from seecon, Switzerland and Ecosan Service Foundation, India.
