The Global Water Pathogen Project (GWPP) is an international network of over 140 scientists focused on translating the science on global water pathogens, sanitation, and health in order to protect global health. Led by Dr. Joan B. Rose of Michigan State University and Dr. Blanca Jimenez, Director of the Division of Water Sciences, UNESCO, the GWPP provides an online knowledge resource and hub on water pathogens, which will guide the goals for sanitation and achieving safe water around the world. The GWPP grew out of an interest to update the book “Sanitation and Disease: Health Aspects of Excreta and Wastewater Management” (Feachem et al.1983), which was published with a financial contribution from the World Bank. The GWPP will update and revise the original book, as well as target the risk based evaluation of sanitation technologies within the WHO water safety framework and contribute to the improvement of access to sanitation.
