课程简介

课程名称:《发展中国家的水供应与卫生政策第二部分:制定有效干预措施》 课程概述: 《发展中国家的水供应与卫生政策第二部分》是我们的第二个系列MOOC,重点在于“制定有效干预措施”。本课程旨在帮助学生发展分析能力,并深入理解一个复杂而有争议的政策问题——这是一个没有简单答案的挑战。全球约有五亿人仍没有改善的水源,而约二十亿人缺乏改善的卫生服务,每年因水相关疾病导致的可避免死亡人数不详却非常庞大。此外,数百万美元被花在可避免的医疗开支上,尤其是女性在从家以外的水源提水上花费了数十亿小时的时间。减少这些成本是21世纪全球面临的重大挑战之一。请加入我们,探索捐助者、国家政府和水务公司为应对这一挑战所采取的政策干预的复杂政治、经济、社会和技术维度。 课程内容: 本课程包含以下七节课: 1. 课程介绍及“古老本能”如何影响水政策干预。 2. 规划更好的政策干预:规划协议的角色、特点及实例。 3. 水价、收费设计与补贴的角色、特点和问题。 4. 向家庭和社区提供信息以改善水和卫生条件。 5. 改变提供水和卫生服务的机构:发展中国家的私有化。 6. 改变机构:来自英国水务私有化故事的经验教训。 7. 改变机构:改善水和卫生领域的监管。 讲师简介: 本课程的讲师在水和卫生政策领域有多年的工作和研究经验。教授Dale Whittington在超过二十个低中收入国家从事水和卫生政策及规划问题研究超过40年。博士Duncan Thomas在英国和欧洲水务行业工作了15年,专注于克服技术、组织、监管和政策创新的障碍。 欢迎观看此课程的介绍视频:[课程介绍视频](https://youtu.be/KkBmo3EKkkI)

课程详情

Water Supply and Sanitation Policy in Developing Countries Part 2 is our second MOOC in a two-part sequence, and looks at ‘Developing Effective Interventions’. Here we invite you to develop analytical skills and deep understanding about a complex, controversial policy problem – one with no simple, easy answers. About half a billion people on our planet still lack access to improved water supplies and about two billion do not have improved sanitation services, leading to an unknown but very large number of avoidable deaths each year from water-related diseases. Millions of dollars are spent on avoidable health care expenditures, and people – mostly women – spend many billions of hours carrying water from sources outside the home. Reducing these costs is a major global challenge for us all in the 21st century. Join us to explore the challenging and complex political, economic, social, and technical dimensions of the policy interventions that donors, national governments and water utilities use to address this challenge. This second MOOC consists of the following seven sessions: • Session 1: Introduction and how our ‘ancient instincts’ affect water policy interventions. • Session 2: Planning better policy interventions: Roles, features and examples of planning protocols. • Session 3: Water pricing, tariff design and subsidies. • Session 4: Providing information to households and communities to improve water and sanitation conditions. • Session 5: Changing the institutions that deliver water and sanitation services: Privatization in developing countries. • Session 6: Changing institutions: Lessons from the UK water privatization story. • Session 7: Changing institutions: Improving regulation of the water and sanitation sector. Your instructors for this course have worked in and studied this sector for many years. Professor Dale Whittington has worked on water and sanitation policy and planning issues for over 40 years in more than two dozen low and middle-income countries. Dr Duncan Thomas has worked in the UK and European water sectors for 15 years, focusing on overcoming barriers to technological, organizational, regulatory and policy innovations.
