Gender indicators and sex disaggregated data
Collecting and analyzing sex-disaggregated data is important for integrating gender in research and policy. It allows researchers to identify quantitative differences between women and men in areas like health status, education levels, employment and income. Without sex-disaggregated data, the unique needs of different gender groups may be overlooked. National and international organizations have recognized the importance of gender indicators and statistics since the 1970s. Proper methods are needed to ensure sex-disaggregated data is collected accurately from both female and male respondents.

Photostory from Norton Town, Zimbabwe.pptx
The document summarizes photos taken in 2023 of the sewage plant in Norton, Zimbabwe. The plant was originally constructed in the 1950s but had fallen into disrepair by 2017. It underwent refurbishment with support from Welthungerhilfe to repair damaged infrastructure like leaking sewage pipes. The conventional treatment plant includes intake works, primary clarifiers, trickling filters, humus tanks, and sludge drying beds. While parts of the system have been repaired, the partially treated sewage still flows directly to nearby farms from the holding ponds.

Self-Supply made simple
The document summarizes ways that households in sub-Saharan Africa develop self-supplied water sources through methods like wells, rainwater harvesting, and springs. It discusses how households incrementally improve their water systems over time. It also outlines three ways self-supply can be supported: 1) through technical advisory services and guidelines, 2) by strengthening the private sector, and 3) with policies and budgets to aid households in construction and supply improvement. The document promotes a new book on self-supply and filling gaps in public water provision.
Self-Supply made simple
Self-supply refers to households taking responsibility for developing their own water sources through various methods like digging wells, collecting rainwater, or protecting springs. This document outlines the key reasons households pursue self-supply due to issues with public water systems like long wait times. It then describes common self-supply methods in Sub-Saharan Africa like family wells and rainwater harvesting. The document emphasizes that self-supply should be supported through technical advice, private sector development, and policies that help households improve their water sources over time.

Webinar : Adapting your advocacy to COVID-19 health crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic is forcing development programmes to rapidly readjust their advocacy strategy to support local or national governments in their emergency planning. The Watershed empowering citizens programme organised a webinar attended by over 60 participants on 15 April 2020, to discuss and learn about: ways to adapt advocacy approaches in time of COVID-19; practical examples of shifting activities at national and local levels; ways to reach your target audience while social distancing; ways to adapt your messaging, keeping Watershed priorities through the lens of COVID-19.
This report includes the webinar Powerpoint presentations and some recommendations based on the Q&A session. The titles and authors of the presentations are: "Why is strong advocacy essential during a crisis?" by Evita Rosenberg (IRC); "Watershed Bangladesh : adapting advocacy approaches during COVID 19 outbreak" by Ranjan Kumar Ghose (WaterAid Bangladesh); and "Adapting advocacy approaches in Kenya "by Patrick Mwanzia (Simavi Kenya).

Pius Mugabi of the Kabarole District Local Government, Martin Watsisi and Angela Huston of IRC and Denis Maramuzi, Area Manager of the National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC), Fort Portal, Kabarole worked together on preparing a presentation for the 20th AfWA International Congress and Exhibition in Uganda.
Their presentation focused on a new partnership between NWSC and Kabarole District to extend NWSC’s piped network to provide safe water to communities in the hard-to-reach Kabende sub county. This novel public-public partnership is part of the increasing trend of rural utilisation. NWSC is extending into more small towns and rural growth centres with a broadened mandate and through the SCAP100 Programme will reach 12,000 new villages during 2017-2020.

Watershed Mali : strengthening civil society for sustainable WASH-IWRM in Mali
The political crisis and insecurity existing in Mali since 2012 has had a negative impact on the country’s water and sanitation sector. Normative frameworks are non-existent or unknown, polices and laws are not enforced, water quality is hardly monitored and budget commitments are unclear. The lack of knowledge about the human rights to water and sanitation has led to poor accountability, and civil society organisations (CSOs) lack capacity to advocate and lobby for better services.
Within the above context, the Watershed empowering citizens Mali country programme focuses on two main issues: (1) water quality and waste management and (2) universal access to sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services. So far the programme has been able to enhance the capacities, credibility and audience of water and sanitation CSOs, including the Alliance Citoyenne Pour l’Eau et l’Assainissement (ACEA-Mali). A multi-stakeholder forum has been established and coalitions of CSOs, local government and media have been strengthened, which can mobilise stakeholders, including Parliament.
Because there enough water and faecal sludge disposal is not seen as a problem in rural areas, there is little incentive to integrate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and water resources management (WRM). Watershed is trying to stimulate integration by developing a handbook and guideline in combination with collaboration with CSO networks and donor-funded programmes.
Issues emerging from the Watershed Mali programme include how CSOs can influence decision makers to increase national WASH budget allocations infragile states, how to harmonise the institutional and legal frameworks of the WASH and WRM sectors, how to encourage innovation.
A joint presentation by Afou Chantal Bengaly (Wetlands International) and Ele Jan Saaf (SaafConsult) at the WASH Debate "Sustainable WASH service delivery and local WRM in fragile states: how far can you get?", in The Hague, the Netherlands on 20 November 2019.
WASH systems strengthening in the Central African Republic
Water for Good (WFG) works exclusively in the Central African Republic (CAR), a country facing extreme economic fragility. The road blocks set up by the non-state armed groups, which control nearly 80% of the territory, have a significant impact on the country's economy. WFG has been operating in the CAR since 2004, initially as a borehole drilling organisation, and shortly thereafter, as a handpump maintenance service provider. It has created a circuit rider approach for preventative maintenance and uses an electronic reporting system.
After joining Agenda for Change in 2017, WFG opted to adopt IRC's systems approach to go beyond their preventative maintenance programme and work towards universal, sustainable access. WFG opted to pilot a district-wide approach in Mambéré-Kadéi, while maintaining periodic preventative maintenance in other prefectures. In the pilot area, WFG focused on the following system blocking blocks: infrastructure, monitoring, finance, planning and institutions. At the same time it is helping to build up regional capacity for systems strengthening.
In conclusion, WFG believes it is possible to strengthen systems in fragile states, thanks to their organisation's long-term presence in CAR, their ability to plug short-term projects into the larger roadmap, and their ability to work with systems champions. The intention is not to build parallel systems, but to champion a roadmap that is both supported by all WASH stakeholders and adequately funded.

Sanitation and hygiene sector trends
This presentation by Ambrose Kibuuka is a part of IRC’s in-house “What’s for Lunch series”, It reviews progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for sanitation and hygiene, sector trends focusing on Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) and sanitation marketing, and how rich nations achieved universal access to sanitation. It also briefly looks at WASH linkages with climate change, stunting, nutrition, and gender and social inclusion. The presentation concludes that unsafely managed sanitation, especially in rural areas, remains a challenge in developing countries as a result of population growth, climate change and the lack of funding for on-site sanitation and faecal sludge removal. Systems strengthening (in particular access to financing) and strong public commitment are required to achieve universal access to sanitation by 2030. The presentation includes a list of 21 references.

The Watershed programme supports civil society organisations (CSOs) both on normative content (and claiming their rights if not yet met) as well as supporting CSOs to engage in the procedural part/principles of human rights to water and sanitation. The social accountability approach used by Watershed is based on the principles of access to information, non-discrimination, accountability and participation. The role of CSOs includes holding government to account for their obligation to ensure that everyone’s human rights are fulfilled, protected and respected. For this Watershed uses the Social Accountability Model developed by Water Witness International. Conclusions and reflection are provided on how this model has been used in Kenya and Bangladesh. Presentation by Esther de Vreede, Simavi, at the WASH Debate “Dialogue and dissent: Looking at the role of civil society in achieving SDG 6 by 2030”, in The Hague, the Netherlands on 26 June 2019.

The Dutch NGO Both Ends is involved in two Strategic Partnerships for Dialogue & Dissent funded by the Netherlands government. One of them, the Fair Green & Global (FGG) Alliance, support capacity building of civil society organisations (CSOs) to effectively voice their views and hold policymakers and companies to account. The role of dissent is seen to contribute towards equality, equity and justice. The lessons learned by the FGG Alliance to address the concerns of Indonesian CSOs regarding land reclamations in Jakarta Bay Masterplan will be taken up to support CSO involvement in the Manila Bay Sustainable Development Masterplan in the Philippines. The challenges and opportunities for CSO involvement in Dutch-funded interventions in developing countries are briefly outlined.

Voice for Change Partnership : roles of CSOs in achieving SDG6
The Voice for Change Partnership (V4CP) programme is a capacity development programme for civil society organizations (CSOs) in six countries across four areas including water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). VCP is a partnership between DGIS, SNV, IFPRI (International Food Policy and Research Institute) and CSOs. The capacity development activities focus on evidence creation and dissemination, and evidence-based advocacy. In Kenya, the V4CP WASH component supports CSO advocacy for improved stakeholder participation and coordination, increased budget allocation, and influencing policy review and development. CSOs used evidence from GIS mapping and the water testing to convince county governments to take action to improve sanitation. The data collected was also used to advocate for increased sanitation investment participatory budgeting. The presentation concludes with challenges and lessons learnt from the Kenya the V4CP WASH component. Presented at the WASH Debate “Dialogue and dissent: Looking at the role of civil society in achieving SDG 6 by 2030”, in The Hague, the Netherlands on 26 June 2019.
It takes a system (to deliver WASH services)
Keynote presentation by IRC CEO Patrick Moriarty for the 11th World Water Summit (WWS 11) of the Water and Sanitation Rotarian Action Group (WASRAG) on 31 May 2019 in Hamburg, Germany. It focuses on 3 points. One, that delivering water, sanitation and hygiene services requires a functioning water supply, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) system (made up of multiple actors and factors) and that to intervene effectively requires actively engaging with this system; two, that government has a crucial role to play within the WASH system and must be involved; and, three, that the way to drive systems change is through collective action. The presentation introduces the actors involved in the implementation of the Kabarole District WASH Masterplan in Uganda.

Wash Talk Episode 21 - hygiene promotion
IRC's podcast series WASH Talk shares ideas on changes the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector has to make in order to contribute to achieving universal access by 2030. To do so speakers from all over the world are given a voice in this podcast series. Find out more on www.ircwash.org/washtalk .
These are the shownotes of the podcast on hygiene and handwashing with speakers Carolyn Moore (Global Handwashing Partnership), Thinley Dem (SNV Bhutan) and Adam Biran (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine). They talk about the issues around hygiene and approaches to improving handwashing behaviour. Still a lot needs to be done to meet SDG 6.2 related to handwashing.
Mobilizing infrastructural investments through Water Operators' Partnerships ...
This presentation by Steven van Rossum (World Waternet) and Prtha Hariram (FMO) describes how a blend of public and concessional financing is being used to attract larger investments for public water supply company SOMAGEP-SA in Mali. It was presented at the IRC WASH Debate "Blended finance: Is it all in a mix?" jointly organised with NWP on 4 December 2018 in The Hague, the Netherlands. Dutch development aid supports technical assistance through a Water Operator Partnership between Netherlands-based World Waternet and SOMAGEP-SA. Small investments from Dutch Development Bank FMO are used to improve energy efficiency and the reduction of non-revenue water, which will hopefully improve the performance and credit rating of SOMAGEP-SA.

Wash Talk Episode 21 - hygiene promotion
IRC's podcast series WASH Talk shares ideas on changes the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector has to make in order to contribute to achieving universal access by 2030. To do so speakers from all over the world are given a voice in this podcast series. Find out more on www.ircwash.org/washtalk .
These are the shownotes of the podcast on hygiene and handwashing with speakers Carolyn Moore (Global Handwashing Partnership), Thinley Dem (SNV Bhutan) and Adam Biran (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine). They talk about the issues around hygiene and approaches to improving handwashing behaviour. Still a lot needs to be done to meet SDG 6.2 related to handwashing.
Mobilizing infrastructural investments through Water Operators' Partnerships ...
This presentation by Steven van Rossum (World Waternet) and Prtha Hariram (FMO) describes how a blend of public and concessional financing is being used to attract larger investments for public water supply company SOMAGEP-SA in Mali. It was presented at the IRC WASH Debate "Blended finance: Is it all in a mix?" jointly organised with NWP on 4 December 2018 in The Hague, the Netherlands. Dutch development aid supports technical assistance through a Water Operator Partnership between Netherlands-based World Waternet and SOMAGEP-SA. Small investments from Dutch Development Bank FMO are used to improve energy efficiency and the reduction of non-revenue water, which will hopefully improve the performance and credit rating of SOMAGEP-SA.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
