The South Asian Conference on Sanitation (SACOSAN), a government led biennial convention held on a rotational basis in each country, is a platform for dialogue and influence created by the governments of South Asian Countries to review the progress made in the area of sanitation. The SACOSAN process would help to generate political will to narrow the gap in sanitation access and usage.
They are intended to develop a Regional Agenda on Sanitation, enabling the learning from experiences and setting forth action for the future. The objectives of such conferences are to accelerate the progress of sanitation and hygiene in South Asia and to enhance quality of life of the people. In addition it will contribute to reaching targets of the Millennium Development Goals and the commitments made in the World Summit on Sustainable Development.
