Training on WASH and Construction
Course Overview
Water, sanitation, and hygiene infrastructure plays a central role in public health, urban development, institutional safety, and emergency response. Weak design, inadequate supervision, or non-compliance can lead to contamination, structural failure, regulatory penalties, and unsustainable systems.
This course equips professionals with the technical and managerial capacity to plan, construct, supervise, and monitor WASH infrastructure across diverse operational environments. It integrates water supply system design, sanitation facility construction, wastewater management, drainage planning, and hygiene infrastructure into a structured project delivery framework.
Participants learn how to apply climate-resilient engineering approaches in water-scarce and flood-prone settings, manage contractors and site operations effectively, implement quality assurance controls, and enforce environmental and public health safeguards. The program also strengthens competence in risk identification, compliance monitoring, and long-term sustainability planning under budgetary and operational constraints.
The curriculum aligns with global technical guidance from the World Health Organization and UNICEF, as well as humanitarian WASH standards developed by the Sphere Association. Practical case studies and supervision simulations ensure participants can translate standards into effective field implementation.
