The launch of SuSanA Latinoamérica
LatinoSan 2019 - Costa Rica
In April, the SuSanA Latin America Chapter will be launched in a side event of LatinoSan 2019, which will be held in San José, Costa Rica.
SuSanA Latin America aims to build up the regional awareness regarding sanitation in general and more specifically, emphasizing the exchange of knowledge to ensure the implementation of best practices, promoting the inclusive access to sustainable services and by this, contribute to the achievement of the SDGs.
Encouraged Water and Sanitation Journalism
The West Asia and North Africa (WANA) Chapter
The West Asia and North Africa (WANA) Chapter is looking further to connect and engage with regional journalists who are interested in covering stories about SDG6 and sanitation challenges in the region. Five female journalists from Jordan and Lebanon have been chosen to take part in this first phase, to pen top stories from Lebanon and Jordan.
New reviewed SFD reports
11 new reports online
The SFD Promotion Initiative is happy to announce the recent publication of 11 reviewed SFD reports that bring insights into the sanitation situation in various cities. In India, SFD reports were produced for 9 cities including Bodhgaya, Bongaon, Buxar, Chunar, Gangaghat, Katihar, Ramnagar, Rishikesh, and Panchgani. Additionally, SFD reports were produced for Wa in Ghana, and Bilwi in Nicaragua.

More SFDs are under review and will be published soon, so stay tuned!
Producing SFDs made easy
New guidance items and templates available
Several interactive guidance tools, documents and templates were generated to serve as support in the process of creating SFDs. Additionally, an SFD Online Training is now online to make the production of an SFD easier. Developed by WEDC, the training is composed of 7 modules and aims to give a thorough introduction into SFDs. It offers easy to understand guidance through the steps of reading, understanding and preparing an SFD graphic and report.
LEAP Initiative
Learning and Peer Exchange Platform
Supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Athena Infonomics is developing a system that will facilitate the access, the contribution to and the learning from existing sources within the urban Faecal Sludge Management (FSM) in order to invest in “under-investigated” areas. The design of a global Learning and Peer Exchange Platform (LEAP) is a first step achieve this objective. LEAP will serve as an aggregator of evidence in urban FSM across existing knowledge repositories (like SuSanA), synthesizing insights on the kind of evidence that exists, and serving as a natural reference point to guide new research in the space. Athena is keen on working closely with the SuSanA community to understand user preferences for such a platform.
High Level Political Forum 2019
E-Consultation on SDGs under Review
The High Level Political Forum (HLPF) is one of the most significant event to review the SGDs of this year and will deal with goals 4, 8, 10, 13, 16, and 17. The purpose of the E-Consultation is to improve the availability of information to stakeholders and the participatory engagement on the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda implementation. A limited number of questions are proposed for each SDG under review, and major groups and other stakeholders are invited to contribute concise and straightforward inputs. You can contribute by participating in the E-Consultation, which will be accessible until the 22nd of February.
