The United Nations 2023 Water Conference will take place in March in New York City. The last edition of this conference was over 40 years ago, this is thus a decisive opportunity to voice sector messages and to recall that the achievement of SDGs can only be done by not forgetting Fragile, Conflict and Violent settings (FCV), where 26% of the global population lives.

Ahead of the UN23WC, it is now or never that WASH in Fragile, Conflict and Violent settings can be brought on the agenda of the conference so humanitarian WASH responses can be of better quality, at scale, anytime, and anywhere. To allow that, active actors in this sector have constructed the first ever Call To Action for resilient and survival WASH, to push for five specific demands directed to UN Member States and to be signed by any organization, may they be active in (humanitarian) WASH or not.

Let’s join our forces and use the momentum! The first milestone to reach is 200 signatories, can you help us get there? Transfer this email to your network, share CTA resources and use the hashtag #ActionForWASH!
