WELCOME, BIENVENUE AND BIENVENIDO TO AKVOPEDIA!

Welcome to Akvopedia, a free, open-sourced water, sanitation & hygiene resource
(in addition to food security knowledge) that anyone can edit. Here you will
find smart and affordable technologies and approaches in rural or urban
settings. Project teams can learn more about financing, constructing, and
maintaining a project in order to keep it functioning and stable for the long
term. Some pages are translated in up to 9 languages (upper right of each page
may have language flags), as we are increasing new translations continually. We
also have the Google translator on each page. It will translate any English page
into more than 90 languages. It cannot translate our hand-translated pages, only
the English versions of those pages.

Akvopedia now contains 2,211 articles primarily in English. Akvopedia is hosted
and managed by Akvo Foundation.


WATER PORTAL


The Water Portal contains information on water collection, pumping and
transportation, storage, treatment, and use of water.


SANITATION PORTAL


The Sanitation Portal contains information on toilets, collection,
transportation, treatment, use of products, hygiene, and training materials.


FINANCE PORTAL


The Finance Portal contains information on the costs needed to finance, how to
finance these costs, and how to monitor finance.


SUSTAINABILITY PORTAL


The Sustainability Portal contains information on numerous sustainability
frameworks, tools, and methods, using the F.I.E.T.S approach.


DECISION & ASSESSMENT TOOLS


Decision & Assessment Tools contain several tools, assessments, or kits that aid
in the implementation of water and sanitation projects in an easier way.


FOOD & NUTRITION SECURITY PORTAL


Food & Nutrition Security Portal helps people improve their access to
nutritional, quality food, supporting the right to food, availability and the
best utilization of food.


SUSTAINABLE OIL PALM FARMING


Sustainable Oil Palm Farming helps oil palm smallholders to increase the
productivity of their plantations and income in a sustainable way.


WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW

The Survey Library is now live!


The Survey library contains two "shelves" of information: standards and surveys.
Standards assist you in gathering, understanding, and using high quality data
for decision making in all things water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) -related.
Surveys are questionnaires that apply the standards.

Some of the supporting organizations who've created the standards are WHO,
UNICEF, and SIASAR. For instance, the Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) is a
popular standard for sanitation, drinking water, and others.

MORE NEWS


 * New guide: Handbook on Data Collection. The AfriAlliance Handbook provides
   guidance on how best to develop a data collection project to ensure high
   quality data is collected and maximum impact is achieved. The Handbook covers
   vital elements to consider when designing and implementing a data collection
   project, focusing on the development sector and including extra resources for
   more information.


 * Guide: WHO: Guidelines on Health and Sanitation, 2018. Safe sanitation is
   essential for health, from preventing infection to improving and maintaining
   mental and social well-being. The lack of safe sanitation contributes to
   diarrhea, a major public health concern and a leading cause of disease and
   death among children under five years in low- and middle- income countries;
   poor sanitation also contributes to several neglected tropical diseases, as
   well as broader adverse outcomes such as under-nutrition. Lack of access to
   suitable sanitation facilities is also a major cause of risks and anxiety,
   especially for women and girls. For all these reasons, sanitation that
   prevents disease and ensures privacy and dignity has been recognized as a
   basic human right.


 * Featured article: The Financing Sanitation, Paper Series I-4 is a unique
   collection of six articles about different aspects of sustainable financing
   of sanitation (in emerging markets) - from financial inclusion to private
   funding and from micro insurance to climate financing. The papers are very
   close to daily practices, written purely on the basis of experience, insights
   and materials developed within sanitation programmes in India and Kenya.


TRANSLATED PAGES



We are proud to announce our Akvopedia Translations program! We have started our
language program with translators for French, Spanish, three Indian languages
(Hindi, Malayalam, and Tamil), Korean, Chinese, Indonesian, and Japanese, with
many more to come. See the upper right of each English page for the different
language flags. Not all pages have been translated yet. Our most popular
translations are:


 * The entire Rainwater harvesting section in Hindi: वाटर पोर्टल / वर्षाजल
   संचयन.
   
 * The entire Rainwater harvesting section in French: La collecte des eaux de
   pluie.
   
 * Most of the Rainwater harvesting section in Spanish: Captación de Agua de
   Lluvia.
