UN water conference side event
Dylan Hotel, Conncorde Room, Tuesday 21st March, 1630
The conference deliverables are primarily voluntary commitments that re-state existing plans, and a summary of proceedings to inform the next HLPF. We want to encourage new funding, or new ways of working, to accelerate progress.
We recognise that the fifth theme: accelerating the implementation of the objectives of the Water Action Decade, depends on building, funding and refining the accountability systems that promote constant, systemic improvement and compounds into accelerated progress on WASH access and water management.
The objectives of the international decade for action are the sustainable development and integrated management of water resources for the achievement of social, economic and environmental objectives. They also stress the importance of the participation and full involvement of all relevant stakeholders, including women, children, young people, older persons, persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples and local communities.
This event will:
Showcase accountability commitments and strategies of stakeholders
Demonstrate the importance of accountability to accelerated SDG6 progress and the human rights to water and sanitation
Show the opportunities to fund accountability work at different levels for different types of funds, including development partners, financiers, and governments.
Call, with partners, for recognition of the fundamental role of an accountability framework for the commitments made by member states
Places are limited so please register!
