Julien Eyrard, Action Contre la Faim and the biggest sanitation challenge in emergencies

This movie was recorded at the 2 day Workshop, 22-23 February 2011, Stoutenburg, The Netherlands called "Identifying gaps in emergency sanitation -Design of new kits to increase effectiveness in emergencies"

The sanitation solutions deployed in the emergency response are not sufficient or adequate to meet challenges of floods and high water table, unstable soils, urban and crowded areas. The more tailored sanitation solutions which are required are not developed to be available for immediate dispatch in the first phase of the emergency. As a response to this gap in available technologies, emergency and sanitation practitioners from different key organizations come together in Stoutenburg, The Netherlands 22-23 Feb 2011 to discuss how to improve gaps in technologies for the immediate phase, understand more about product design process and organize the way forward.
