Making a Difference in Water and Sanitation

There’s nothing more essential to life on Earth than water. It is the basis for our wellbeing, for the development of our countries and the happiness of every family.

​

Unfortunately, we are facing a global water crisis. People in numerous countries are struggling to access the quantity and quality of water they need for drinking, cooking, personal hygiene, producing their goods and irrigating their fields. Undamped population growth and the side effects of global warming are putting more and more pressure especially on the most vulnerable in our societies. Besides, the alarming collapse of biodiversity in too many countries can be attributed to polluted surface waters, drainage of wetlands, over-exploitation of groundwater and disposal of solid waste into the oceans.

​

Although progress has been made in making clean drinking water accessible to 2.6 billion people in developing countries from 1990 to 2015, there are still many opportunities to multiply the benefits of clean water through the application of sustainable technologies, training and capacity building, improved sanitation, hygiene education and increased efficiency in public service delivery. Moreover, many of the solutions already at hand today can minimize the effects of global warming – but we have to get started!

Together we carry out participatory planning processes and define a set of criteria to assist in characterizing each area of intervention to be in a position to identify the most appropriate technical solutions.
We accompany our clients through the entire project cycle by providing services such as design, tendering, construction supervision and operation and maintenance.

Training and
Capacity Building

We believe that individuals can only apply their capabilities if a favorable enabling environment is guaranteed. Our approach to capacity building therefore targets individuals, organizations and institutions alike. Our experts love to share and are experts in transferring knowledge and facilitating change to create the structures, incentives, regulations and financial mechanisms required for sustainability of infrastructure and services.
We have learned that capacity building cannot be narrowed down to trainings and workshops alone. Our approach to  Capacity Building applies a range of  modules such as twinning, pilot and demonstration projects, coaching, study tours, conferences and seminars, on-the-job-trainings and train-the-trainer, knowledge management and many more tailor-made solutions for strengthening the water sector.

Working with communities

Our experts are used to include feedback and concerns from grass-root levels in their daily work, in order to make a difference in water and sanitation on local levels.

Community development in water and sanitation is a process whereby those who are marginalised and excluded from decision-making are enabled to gain self confidence and to join with others. They are encouraged to participate in actions to improve their living conditions and to tackle the water or environmental-related problems that face their community.

Our community work is concerned with the development and empowerment of communities through facilitating the active participation of people in addressing issues that affect them collectively. It can be done in a variety of contexts: in neighborhoods, with specific groups (eg women’s associations, youth organisations), with partnership groups, NGOs, local authorities and state agencies.

Our community experts usually work in teams and liaise closely with local authorities and agencies. They represent the voices and needs of target groups and disadvantaged communities to policy makers at local and national level.
