Hola nuavamente,

Comparto con Uds. otro término para el cual solicito su apoyo puesto que por el contexto una traducción literal no sería conveniente. Asumo que en este caso "clinics" no se traduciría como clínica.

La expresión aparece y se define en el segundo párrafo:

The design of sanitation technologies for the urban poor should not only be sustainable but also address the specific needs of the target community. In Kenya, Water and Sanitation for the Urban Poor (WSUP) document their experiences with the development of sustainable sanitation models for the urban poor community through participatory meetings with marginalised groups.

Known as **Toilet Design Clinics**, these meetings locate the needs of women and girls at the centre of sanitation infrastructure planning and design. This paper highlights the contribution that school children can make to WASH design, despite normally being left out of the planning process. In this case, students proposed a number of creative and innovative solutions to improve sanitation at their school. Design clinics have also been extend to consider latrine design in households and public spaces that meet the needs of women, people with disabilities, the elderly as well as religious groups.

Explanation:
El M-W (como ya anotado por Colacilli en comentario previo) define clinic como a group meeting devoted to the analysis and solution of concrete problems or to the acquiring of specific skills or knowledge
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/clinic

En la primera parte de la acepción
(a group meeting devoted to the analysis and solution of concrete problems),
que parece perfectamente ajustada al contexto en tanto que reunión para discutir y valorar las necesidades particulares de un colectivo en relación a un tema concreto que pueda servir en la toma de decisiones posterior, diría que comité, asamblea o reunión podrían resultar ajustados al caso;
Comité
de personas encargadas para un asunto
Asamblea
Reunión de los miembros de una colectividad para discutir determinadas cuestiones de interés común y, en su caso, adoptar decisiones

Taller estaría más relacionado en realidad con la segunda acepción anotada por el Merriam-Webster
(a group meeting devoted to the acquiring of specific skills or knowledge)
que no parece tan ajustada en el caso que nos ocupa.
