UN-HABITAT has planned a Regional Media Workshop on Urban Water and Sanitation Issues in Asia and the Pacific from 11-12 December 2006 in New Delhi (India) with the objective of bringing together print and electronic journalists where they will be introduced to the key issues on urban water and sanitation. The workshop aims at creating awareness among the Media Professionals regarding the current situation of water and sanitation in various countries of Asia particularly those participating in the Water for Asian Cities and MEK-WATSAN Programmes of UN-HABITAT and seek the indulgence and involvement of the media for creating public awareness and advocacy to promote sector reforms for the urban poor and encourage pro-poor investments in water and sanitation to support Millennium Development Goals. UN-HABITAT is inviting Journalists from various Asian countries which, inter alia, Nepal, China, India, Lao PDR, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Thailand. The Journalists will be encouraged to create various products including articles, jingles, radio programmes, cartoons and TV public service announcements. The workshop is viewed as a long-term effort and not a one short deal. |
