Objectives and Project Briefing Regional Workshop on Monitoring and Assessment of the Integration of Human Values in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Education in Southeast Asian Schools The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, UN-HABITAT, is the United Nations agency for human settlements. UN-HABITAT is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all. UN-HABITAT's work is directly related to the UN Millennium Declaration, particularly the goals of member States to improve the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers by the year 2020 Target 10 of the Millennium Development Goal No. 7 calls for the reduction by half of the number without sustainable access to safe drinking water. Cooperation between UN-HABITAT and SEAMEO on Values-Based Water Education started in December 2003 Led to the formulation and implementation of strategic programmes to operationalize the Ministerial Declaration on Values-Based Water Education including sanitation and hygiene. Through this Cooperation, the promotion of Values-Based Water and Sanitation Education among the Southeast Asian Schools is being pursued.
A two-track project is being implemented which involves: 1.Development of an Assessment Protocol on Water and Sanitation Facilities in Schools; and
2.Integrating Human Values in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Education in Southeast Asian Schools.

Specific Objectives At the end of this three-day workshop, participants should be able to: 1.assess experiences in adopting the integrated HVWSHE in their respective countries
2.identify some areas for improvement in the existing teaching-learning materials and other innovations adopted;
3.agree on the M& E framework for Project SEA WAVE;
4.develop M & E tools to determine the effectiveness of the integrated HVWSHE teaching-learning materials; and
5.formulate guidelines for the assessment of integrated HVWSHE teaching-learning materials for use by teachers, principals and supervisors. Workshop Sessions To achieve the set WS objectives, sessions are designed as follows: •A Review of the Previous Efforts of Project SEA WAVE
