DIPLOMA IN WATER, HYGIENE AND SANITATION (JUNE SPECIAL OFFER USD 400)

ONLINE DIPLOMA IN WATER, HYGIENE AND SANITATION FROM 5TH JUNE 2019 to 30TH NOVEMBER 2019.

Africa Institute for Project Management Studies (AIPMS) is pleased to announce a Diploma in Water, Hygiene and Sanitation. The course is offered through Online Learning.

Course Overview:

According to the latest estimates of the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP), released in early 2013 (collected in 2011), 36 per cent of the world’s population – 2.5 billion people – lack improved sanitation facilities, and 768 million people still use unsafe drinking water sources. Inadequate access to safe water and sanitation services, coupled with poor hygiene practices, kills and sickens thousands of children every day, and leads to impoverishment and diminished opportunities for thousands more.
The course provides an understanding of WASH in the context of wider public health challenges and illustrates the practical interventions necessary to deliver on health and wider development/emergency needs.

• Correlate WASH and Environmental Health with Public Health (including nutrition) in the context of community development
