The several thematic working groups have been established in order to cover a variety of different sanitation aspects and to provide deliverables that underline the problems and opportunities of these aspects.
Terre des hommes is working on health issues in the domain of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene and therefore is participating as a partner organisation in SuSanA-working groups for “Sustainable Sanitation in Schools” and “Sustainable sanitation in emergencies and reconstruction situations”.
