GWP Joins Sanitation and Water for All Initiative

GWP has joined the Sanitation and Water for All initiative as a Multilateral Partner, together with other GWP Partner organizations. Sanitation and Water for All aims to address the barriers to achieving universal and sustainable sanitation and drinking water for everyone, including poor water resources management.

GWP Executive Secretary Dr Ania Grobicki noted, "SWA is an important political initiative which aims to highlight the crucial importance of sanitation, as well as drinking water supply, and to keep it high on the agenda of countries until the MDG target has been achieved in 2015. The changing context of water resources and water-related disease, in view of the extreme climate variability which many countries are experiencing, is the backdrop to this immediate challenge."
