AfWASA is pleased to present the selected Research Fellows for EMPOWER WASH Africa Program

The African Water and Sanitation Association (AfWASA), with the support of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation (CNHF), are implementing a program entitled "Empowered WASH Systems at District-level in Africa (EMPOWERWASH-Africa).” This program aims at (i)supporting better understanding by AfWASA of WASH systems at district level so to identify the gaps and challenges to improve the performance of service delivery, ii) improving WASH systems at district level throughout knowledge and best practice sharing by the means of peer-to-peer learning approach and iii) supporting the creation of new knowledge and dissemination of best practices through the small grant and Community of Practitioners (CoPs).

It is in that regard the AfWASA is awarding research scholarships to ten (10) African Young Water and Sanitation Professionals. Target beneficiaries are undergraduate, and masters’ students as well as engineers in the final year of their training. Each scholarship, with a maximum value of USD 1,000 (one thousand US dollars), will make it possible to conduct research work sanctioned by a scientific report on a theme related to the WASH in Rural areas.
