To reach everyone with lasting access to water, sanitation and hygiene we must raise the sector’s political profile and work together to build country systems capable of delivering and sustaining services. As an SWA partner, WaterAid is proud to work with others to drive the changes in government and development partner behaviour needed to improve sector performance and build resilience to the impacts of climate change.

The objective of achieving universal access to drinking water and sanitation is a great challenge for our country. We are pleased to have joined a multi-stakeholder platform that mobilizes actions of all stakeholders to support the priorities of our government. Together with the other partners of the SWA, we will seek to strengthen collaboration and exchange in terms of financing the sector and innovative ideas that allow us to end inequalities.

We are very proud of be an SWA partner and member its Steering Committee. Our country achieved extraordinary progress in water and sanitation in the las 30 years, but we know there is still work to do. Through SWA, we are constantly being held accountable to our partners, we are in contact with the most important actors in this sector at global level, and we share our experiences, thus supporting other countries to achieve SDG6. Multi-stakeholder participants and SWA’s modus operandi inspire us to do more and better.
