3rd SuSanA steering group meeting in Stockholm, Sweden, August 2007

At the 3rd SuSanA meeting in August 2007 in Stockholm shortly before the World Water Week the number of participating organisations again increased considerably. Around 90 participants from more than 50 multi- and bilateral organisations, NGOs and research institutions discussed the current status and first results of the working groups and elaborated a joint SuSanA statement which was endorsed by the whole group. Aim of this joint SuSanA statement is to clarify the goals and objectives of the SuSanA and communicate the sustainable sanitation approach and related sustainability criteria to a broader public.
