Training on Climate-Resilient WASH Infrastructure
Course Overview
Climate change poses significant risks to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure, particularly in vulnerable communities. Floods, droughts, and extreme weather events can disrupt services, damage facilities, and compromise public health.
This course equips professionals with practical skills to plan, design, and implement WASH infrastructure that is resilient to climate variability and shocks. Participants learn to conduct climate risk assessments, apply adaptation strategies, and integrate sustainable technologies into water and sanitation systems. The program emphasizes participatory planning, context-specific solutions, and hands-on application of tools and methodologies to strengthen resilience.
Through case studies, field exercises, and practical examples, participants develop strategies to ensure that WASH services remain reliable, safe, and sustainable in the face of climate-related challenges. By the end of the course, participants will be able to design and implement WASH infrastructure that minimizes vulnerability, protects public health, and supports long-term community resilience.
