Good Practice Review

Water and Sanitation in Emergencies

Andrew Chalinder, an emergency water and sanitation programme manager who has worked for Oxfam in several relief operations, was the lead author of this review. Four other water and sanitation specialists with different backgrounds and experiences and representing different agency perspectives served as a 'peer group' providing comments on the first draft of the text. The members of the peer group were: Jan Davies a consultant who recently co-authored a book on community water supplies, Georgio Nembrini, head of the Water and Sanitation Department in the International Committee of the Red Cross, Paul Smith-Lomas, Emergency Technical Adviser for Oxfam, and John Griffiths who was formerly employed by UNICEF and was involved in emergency water and sanitation programmes in Cambodia, Thailand, Bangladesh and India. A member of the technical staff of Médecins Sans Frontières - France was unfortunately unable to provide comments due to other emergency commitments. The support and helpful comments of the peer group are gratefully acknowledged. Editorial support was provided by John Borton, RRN Co-ordinator and Margaret Cornell. Véronique Goëssant was responsible for layout and production. The French version was translated by Jean Lubbock and Véronique Goëssant.
