The Second Emergency Environmental Health Forum was
held in April 2005 at the London School of Hygiene and
Tropical Medicine in April by the Interagency Water,
Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion Group.
The objective of the Forum was
to encourage the exchange of field level experiences
and strengthen the humanitarian agency institutional
memory. It also aimed to keep field staff up to date
with current research and evaluation findings and help
to identify subjects in the emergency environmental
health sector that needs more research. Several agencies
who responded to the emergency situation created by
the Tsunami and its aftermath in Indonesia, India and
Sri Lanka also passed on their experiences.
The Forum was organised for
all the main NGO's and UN agencies working in implementing
water, sanitation and hygiene promotion programmes in
emergencies as well as institutions who are involved
in research and development in this sector. |
