During FSM4, Dr. Moe helped lead a workshop on the FSM Toolbox project, which highlighted the tools available for key players who are involved in community fecal sludge management. Not only did this workshop point out helpful tools, but also shared information about their one-stop database and “standardized framework for ‘effective implementation’ of FSM projects.”

David Berendes presented a poster entitled Risk factors for pediatric enteric infection in an urban slum: Examining the contributions of the household environment, neighborhood geography, and exposure behaviors. The poster presented research, which examined the contribution of a child’s household/neighborhood environments and behaviors associated with exposure to enteric infection risk in an urban slum in India. Both spatial data was collected and behavioral surveys were conducted to assess exposure. This poster was presented at the ISEE conference, an annual scientific conference that “includes plenary sessions, symposia, and poster and oral presentations of accepted abstracts.”

39th WEDC Conference (July 2016)
The Center for Global Safe Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene; the Emory University/Water Institute of CSIR/ TREND Group; and the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development hosted a side event showcasing the experiences of local partners who deployed the SaniPath Tool in Accra, Ghana. This side event delved into the usability of the tool, and the tool’s impact and usage by decision-makers. During the event, interested participants were encouraged to critique the tool and share whether the tool could be applied within their own work. The purpose of the Water, Engineering, and Development Center (WEDC) Conference is to “support knowledge-sharing, develop capacity and improve good practice for the sustainable delivery for water, sanitation, and hygiene services for low- and middle-income countries.”
