High-level political engagement involving SWA leaders: SWA has a Global Leadership Council comprised of highly-respected leaders, including former heads of government and state. Partner countries can request SWA for the engagement of these leaders. For example, the SWA High-level Chair, who is a former head of state, can write to ministers or other heads of government to encourage them to undertake an action related to financing water, sanitation and hygiene. SWA’s CEO can hold virtual meetings with ministers or make a country visit in support of an initiative identified during the FMM. These resources can help raise the political visibility and prioritization of water, sanitation and hygiene.
