This was a special conference with the year 2008, being declared an international year of sanitation, it was a great opportunity to highlight key issues on sanitation on the African continent. Most importantly it was an opportunity to confirm or disprove what several critics have expressed over the years that Africa might not necessarily be on track to meet the MDG target goal on sanitation. The AfricanSan was a follow up to access progress made and adopted during the first AfricanSan which took place in Johannesburg, South Africa 2002. The conference for 2008 was a key opportunity to assess critical issues such as progress, challenges, best practices and lessons identified as each African country strives to achieve the MDG goal 7, target of halving the population of the 2.6 billion Africans who do not have access to basic sanitation.

Case study on Gender and Empowerment through Wash
-
It is often assumed that participation and representation of women in Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) committees will lead to their empowerment. Therefore, in order to get a better insight into “How” participation in the WASH committees can lead to empowerment of women, Simavi and the Gender and Water Alliance, through the Gender and Water Programme Bangladesh, decided to do a study to get a better insight on “If”, “How” and “Why” women’s empowerment has taken place as a result of participation in the WASH committee or other WASH interventions.
