46. A
Welcome to the Interactive area.
In this section there are seven
scenarios for you to think about
or discuss with a group of
colleagues or peers. Each one
refers to a different aspect
covered in the module. Make
notes on how, given each
scenario, you would approach
the situation.
Once you have completed the
scenarios, you can listen to
general comments and feedback
on each one, as well as
interviews with WASH sector
specialists talking about what
they would have done or what
they think are the key issues
with each scenario.
It is important to understand that
there is no ‘perfect’ answer to
these questions; indeed if you are
working in a group you may find
that you come up with multiple
answers. This simply highlights
the fact that the WASH landscape
is complex and the context within
which you work influences the
choices and decisions that are
made.
55. Consolidating / Exploring
• Re-visit activity one – anything to
add/change?

Implement Your Own ideas
Uploading to VLE is useful for refreshers/revision purposes after a lecture but not necessarily a resource on its own.
(may look designed, but not necessarily good accessible designed)
