2.1 Training courses offerings WASH learning portal
A repository of all WASH capacity development opportunities on one website

With increasingly complex crises, the need for specific expertise in humanitarian WASH interventions is greater than ever. Because of this complexity, the range of skills needed to develop effective and sustainable interventions in line with environmental health is growing every day. As a result, the number of training courses on offer and the tools needed for these skills are also increasing. These trainings are usually posted on the websites of the organisations that created them and correspond to their vision and needs. An overview is thus inaccessible to the field practitioner, who is therefore unable to compare existing offers and information to choose the most relevant one.
To counterbalance the above, this initiative aims to develop a repository of WASH (technical and coordination) capacity development opportunities to be accessed on a single website.
This will help avoid loss and duplication in terms of capacity building resources and ensure that training materials and online courses are accessible and maintained in a unique and secure location. This repository will be linked to existing repositories in the WASH development sector and learning pathways will be developed based on the competency framework developed by the initiative 2.2.
Picture
The main output of this initiative (the repository) is aimed to become the foundation for WASH agencies to develop capacity by supporting a cohort of staff with diverse backgrounds and expertise, with a focus on local capacity (whether present or to be developed). This website will then become a reference point to identify potential resources to increase the WASH capacity of organisations and their employees. Access to these resources will be greatly facilitated as they will be gathered in one place, allowing comparisons to be made to find the best tool available.
