Member Organization

 

The EcoSanRes (Ecological Sanitation Research) Programme aims to develop and promote sustainable sanitation in the developing world through capacity development and knowledge management as a contribution to equity, health, poverty alleviation, and improved environmental quality.

EcoSanRes is funded by Sida and is a member of the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA) and the African Sanitation Knowledge Network (ASKNet). A key outcome of the current phase of EcoSanRes is the creation of Knowledge Nodes.
