Our course explores what can be done to solve the complex problem that half a billion people worldwide do not have improved water supplies and two billion do not have improved sanitation. We look forward to you joining us. We want to help you develop the skills you need to address this major global challenge of the 21st century.
Our course has informative video lectures and guest interviews with leading water policy scholars and practitioners. We will provide you with discussion forum topic prompts, which will invite you to engage with other learners from around the globe. Our MOOC will also ask you to attempt weekly quizzes and a challenging assignment that tackles a real water and sanitation problem in a difficult setting.

I think the above course is very satisfactory especially for professionals in developing settings and there is a wealth of information and an opportunity to exchange ideas. The only unfortunate bit is that the course does not run frequently, for instance i have been looking out for it for more than 1 year now. There is need for another session pretty soon, as the demand is present. I am currently attending a world bank course on water and sanitation and a lot have shown interest.
