OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Leaving No One Behind in Water and Sanitation: Can we measure it?
About the Event: The SDGs include a number of ‘universal’ targets for water, hunger and poverty, but what does that really mean and how are these measured in practice? There are many inequalities related to who can access and benefit from water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH services) and a major challenge is how these are measured, tracked and communicated. This is fundamental to accelerating progress in achieving SDG 6 if we really aim to leave no one behind. I will discuss how WASH inequalities have been measured to date based on infrastructure access, and describe gaps related to tracking how different groups of people benefit from WASH services. Ways for improved measurement will be proposed, going beyond the SDG targets to include a wider range of indicators, metrics and better data dis-aggregation.
