OBJECTIVES
It is important in achieving affordable, dignified, and sustainable sanitation solutions for communities. Over the years, EWS has purposefully adopted experimental governance and learning-by-doing approach to support social learning and innovation for local communities through the EFTP process. This organizational culture at EWS has developed around an openness towards learning, support for experimentation, a lack of fear of being innovative, and of learning from mistakes.
These reinvented sanitation technologies do not use external energy/power, nor do they require connection to the main sewer lines to operate efficiently. However, the technologies recover and reuse water, energy, and nutrients, to accelerate the transition towards a circular economy.
EWS supports a certain level of participatory knowledge co-production with various transdisciplinary networks that have been established through the EFTP process. Several key community engagement initiatives have been implemented to foster knowledge co-generation through education and awareness-raising programmes.
