During this training‚ we gained a wealth of knowledge through classroom lectures‚ site visits‚ discussions and the interactions between the participants. We have leant a lot of among them‚ there is:
- Operation‚ maintenance‚ and management technologies for deep well pumps
- Various wastewater treatment technologies
- Development of action plans
- Operation of slow filtration facilities
- Sewage treatment using standard and activated sludge methods
- Management of water supply facilities in municipalities‚ including resident involvement in small-scale water supply systems
- Consensus-building‚ waterborne diseases‚ and other critical issues.

We also analyzed and discussed the current WASH challenges in our countries and identified common issues‚ such as:
- Limited community awareness of water infrastructure management
- Unsustainable operation and maintenance (O&M) of water facilities in rural areas
- Inadequate sanitation services

Through this program‚ we acquired essential knowledge and techniques to ensure safe drinking water supply and sustainable O&M for water and sanitation systems‚ including boreholes. Drawing on Japan’s experience and the shared experiences of fellow participants‚ each of us developed an action plan to enhance the sustainability of water and sanitation infrastructure and promote better hygiene practices in our home countries.

Once again‚ we express our heartfelt gratitude to the Government of Japan and JICA‚ the program lecturers‚ and particularly Mr. Ogata‚ Ms. Kawano‚ and our coordinator‚ Ms. Takamuku. Your dedication‚ kindness‚ and efforts made this training a great success. We assure you that the knowledge gained will be put to good use in bringing positive changes to the WASH sector in our countries.
Thank you‚ wishing you all over you Merry Christmas and happy new year of prosperity.
Arigato Gozaimasu!!
