Dear all

"Reinvent the toilet" , might not be a the wisest and a bit arrogant description, but its a catchy title, particularly for the media, and through this challenge gates the issue of sanitation has been more in the media.
Sanitation is NOT a high priority theme of Gate, after hiv/ aids, polio , their theme will be now birth control (see recent tedx conference in berlin).

Dear Arno, Carl. Carol, Richard and Ralf,

The fact that this is "Reinvent the Toilet" Challenge Round 2 is very
telling. What was the result of Challenge Round? Obviously, Round 1 did not
yield acceptable solutions so this is most likely why they are on Round 2.

My take on this is that the Gates Foundation is a bit late to the party on

Yes you are right. It takes time for new starters to realize that
sanitation is first of all a system. And then it is not just a system of
technologies but it involves human beings that behave differently in
various parts of the world with varying attitudes. So as you say the
toilet is only one component. It is therefore misleading or

Dear All

Interesting to note the reply from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on
thier proposal to reinvent the toilet (and it is not an automated reply if
you look at the time delay).

It clearly shows that they will not engage in any debate and have the
attitude, because I have the money and therefore the power, I will tell you

Thanks for this Peter,
Good to see - although on the other hand I'm not sure this segregation of the "holy trinity" ro reduce diarrhoeal diseases is useful. I completely agree that hygiene improvement is an essential, and much too often neglected, element in the fight to reduce diarrhoeal diseases, but to say “without change in hygiene behaviour, we get none of the benefits of water, none of the benefits of sanitation” is clearly inaccurate. The benefits are less than they would be without hygiene promotion but there are benefits nonetheless.

Dear All,
For those attending the 6th World Water Forum in Marseilles next month (and without wanting to stir up the debate on whether to attend or not to attend again), I would like to point out an interesting side event that will be organized by the recently established Sanitation and Hygiene Global Community of Practice. See the message hereunder. In case you're not interested in what's going on in Marseille but you might be interested to join the CoP discussion on behavior change or find out more about the CoP, please feel free to contact my colleague Pippa Scott - details hereunder.

Dear Simon,

Thanks for your response. I checked out the TEDxBerlin video on your
web site [[link]]. The AidPod seems an ingenious and
simple supply chain solution.

I still think linking up with Coca Cola as a distributor is
inappropriate. I agree with medical professionals who strongly

Just to clarify a bit further.
MOBILE PHONES
We are not expecting our client group (care givers in remote rural
communities) to have phones and they will not need one to participate in
the project. Retailers will need a mobile phone though as they will use
these to redeem the vouchers they receive from care-givers in exchange for

Hmmm,
So you bridge the information (and financial transaction; in essence also
info exchange) gap using phones.
OK I buy that; there are more phones than toilets in the world.

Jaap - my objective is to save children's lives and I have very
limited resources.

I think I'll stick with ColaLife rather than try and influence Coca-
Cola's product line.

CL only? Definitely not. Please read the blog. The key innovations in
ColaLife are:

- use of existing private sector distribution chains to deliver anti-
