EEHF - The Emergency Environmental Health Forum is an international research and learning event.
We bring together WASH implementers, researchers, donors and policymakers together to discuss the latest research, evaluations and learning on humanitarian WASH programmes.
Our objectives are to:
- Share new research and learning from humanitarian WASH programmes
- Discuss new approaches and innovations that would benefit populations affected by or at-risk of humanitarian crises
- Identify research gaps and generate research questions at a practice, policy and research level for humanitarian WASH
- Build new partnerships with donors, practitioners and researchers
Submission of abstracts is now closed.
Applicants will be notified of their acceptance or rejection by 31 March 2024.
Contact us at EEHF.abstracts@lshtm.ac.uk with any questions.
