SuSanA exhibition booth at the Stockholm World Water Week

SuSanA was also present at the World Water Week through a joint exhibition booth together with the Fecal Sludge Management Alliance (FSMA), displaying information about sustainable sanitation and FSM. The booth served as a meeting point for SuSanA members and partners and everyone interested in the topic and the networks. During World Water Week, there were also four mingles at the FSMA and SuSanA booth. The first mingle at the booth was hosted by the African Women Sanitation Professionals Network, Women in Water and Sanitation Network and Women for Water Partnerships, and gave women in the sanitation sector the chance to meet and network. Three other mingles were the India Chapter, Latin America Chapter and Africa meeting.
