Learning Group for Waste and Sanitation

The Dutch development sector has its own support organisation, called PSO, which supports capacity development of Dutch development co-operation organisations and their partners. As a PSO member, WASTE has the opportunity to work closely with some of its South partners on developing new approaches, writing projects, producing websites and publications, and exploring knowledge management at a higher level.

  3. Improve own capacity as learning Knowledge Centres, and ability to anticipate on the requests of their clients.
