4. Achievements / lessons learnt
Federation WASH
Achievements / lessons learnt
Emergency sanitation solutions can be useful for urban development context
NLRC focus on emptying, transport (transfer stations) and treatment
Demand creation - beyond emergencies...
Public Private Partnerships in urban slums

5. Federation WASH
Challenges
The urban poor are largely ignored in terms of service provision by the city authorities in most less-developed countries. Budgetary support is low.
Innovation requires continuity in HR, people are learning, organisations more slowly
Innovation project require more time and energy than usual programmes: plan for it

6. Federation WASH
Planning & next steps
Field testing of sludge transfer stations in Malawi early 2018 (consortium with WASTE foundation - to make emptying business more efficient)
Developing new efficient ways of faecal sludge treatment (UNESCO-IHE, Dutch Coalition for Humanitarian Innovation (DCHI), WASTE)
Developing new models of ROM (for different settings)
Bringing innovation to scale - Urban WASH TWG ??
