Goals

The Canadian Toilet Organization’s primary goal is the promotion of environment protection, the enhancement of public health and the promotion of education in these fields.

These aims will be achieved through the dissemination of knowledge about the serious consequences of inadequate sanitation facilities for the environment and health. This will be realized by:

• hosting public events like campaigns or exhibitions as well as the preparation of information material for these events
• realization of training courses and workshops
• exchange of know-how and experience with international, national and local organizations which follow similar aims
• organization and dissemination of corresponding knowledge in developing countries

Further, the organization, implementation or encouragement of projects in developing countries intended to enhance the coverage with adequate sanitation facilities will be supported by:

• propagation of knowledge including sociological and technical questions
• dissemination of new approaches for sanitation facilities which are adequate for the local conditions
• cooperation with international, national and local organizations which work in development cooperation and follow similar aims
