The training programme will involve work for the participants during
approximately 1.5 years:

identifying the most severe urban water and sanitation problems in their
countries. The participants shall contact the other participants from
their respective countries and discuss the following issues:
- What policies and regulations are there concerning urban water supply and sanitation?
- How well are they heeded in reality?
- What changes are most urgent for the achievement of sustainable services with a clear poverty focus?
