The NICC Foundation, together with resource persons, interns and volunteers, publishes a growing number of timelines via the Canon of the Netherlands. Timelines in progress: Mozambique & water,Tanzania, Kenya and Forestry.
New Timelines
Timeline Onsite Sanitation
In this timeline we deal with onsite sanitation: this refers to systems where urine and faeces is being produced, stored and partially treated. Hence, we do NOT deal with piped solutions such as sewerage. To function properly and to be a ‘healthy’ system, a sequence of interlinking steps is required:
The temporary storage of faeces, urine, cleansing material and wash water
Emptying of the facility
Transport of collected faecal sludge (= mixture of faeces, urine, cleansing material and water)
Treatment of faecal sludge
If required: valorisation or reuse of treated faecal sludge
Timeline Food and Agriculture; Policy and practice 1949-2024
Check out the first version of our timeline Food and Agriculture in Dutch International Development Cooperation, a birds-eye overview of policies and practices over a period of 75 years.
The timeline is 'work in progress' and will be launched at our event The Dutch Harvest: Sustaining Futures organised together with FoodFIRST and ISS on the 29th November.
Highlights are international trends, policies and practices that changed the landscape of Dutch International Cooperation and reflections on how these changes affected agricultural development and food security in developing countries.
