Rural Sanitation Training in Francophone Africa: New Evidence on a Critical and Largely Unaddressed Gap
12 5. November 2026
An initiative of UNICEF, in partnership with IHE-Delft and 2iE, supported by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Despite growing global attention to safely managed sanitation, a new regional mapping exercise finds that French-language training on rural, climate-resilient sanitation in Francophone Africa remains insufficient and does not fully meet the needs of priority target groups, despite some progress. The findings come from “Strengthening Human Capital Development for Water & Sanitation in Francophone Africa”, an initiative launched by UNICEF in partnership with IHE Delft (Institute for Water Education) and 2iE (International Institute for Water and Environmental Engineering, Burkina Faso), with support from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
