Striking WASH Communication round 2: Urban Water in Depth

Following the well attended and successful Striking WASH Communication event in Stockholm at the World Water Week 2010, we are coming back for round 2:
How has communication and information sharing led to improved water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services in the urban context? Can media, marketing, public relations and advocacy make an impact? Can the impact be measured and, if so, how? What are the success stories and lessons learned from communication about WASH in cities, peri-urban areas and informal settlements?

This side event will present several case studies of water communications in the urban context. It aims to demonstrate how well-thought-through communication approaches and activities can contribute to increased awareness, changed behaviour and better water and sanitation management. It will provide an opportunity to gather ideas and practical tips from practitioners who will present their experience and analyse the elements that they believe contributed to their success. Discussion will focus on how best to evaluate advocacy and communications campaigns and how to gauge the contribution they make to overall programme impact.

The event will help to make the case for WASH communications as an important element of successful urban water management. It has potential interest for policy-makers, project managers, researchers, journalists and communication specialists. The overall objective is to provide a platform for sharing experience, gaining inspiration and developing ideas for future collaboration.

Presentations at the Striking WASH Communication event are kept to very specific format in order to keep the session punchy and informative. It allows 5 minutes and the slides will be animated like a pecha kucha. Following the presentations, there is some time for discussions. The focus will be on creating an opportunity for networking and generating interest, while resources can be found on the blog with more in depth articles on each case and other references. In addition, the cases will be presented in the exhibition spaces through WaterCube.tv interviews and the IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre, WSSCC and UN-DPAC stands at the Stockholm World Water Week.
