More than a billion people daily confront the hazards, dangers, and inconveniences that come with not having access to a reliable, safe toilet.

Last week, UNICEF and World Health Organization released their latest report on #water, #sanitation and #hygiene progress in schools. We are not where we need to be. We believe systems strengthening--as as an organization, as part of the One For All alliance, as a Sanitation and Water for All - a UNICEF-hosted global partnership partner--is vital for accelerating change. This week, South Sudan signed a Compact on Water and Sanitation as part of SWA's Heads of State Initiative. Along with plans for increased funding for water and sanitation services, the Compact also aims to make the country Open Defecation Free by 2030. Here, our One For All influence leaders explain why this is so important for all the countries we work within: https://lnkd.in/eiHPRKUk Melissa Revotskie David DeArmey John Butterworth

Kate Harawa has important takeaways from her time and presentations at the World Water Forum and RAG Summit. Reiterating so we all have to read twice: "Our current challenges cannot be solved by using the same approaches that have brought up the current challenges."
This week I was privileged to participate in The Indonesia Bali 10th World Water Forum and The Singapore 16th WASH RAG summit. Three things stood out to me: We need to work differently in order reduce the impact of climate change on WASH infrastructure and all people especially women, children and the marginalised. We need to think and work systematically throughout the ecosystem and collaborate better. Our current challenges cannot be solved by using the same approaches that have brought up the current challenges. Lastly, let us always remember that, it is great to know how to do things and do them well, BUT it is much better to get things done, without worrying about who did it and who gets the fame! contribution is greater than attribution!

Inspiration from US Water Alliance CEO Mami Hara as we close out the first-ever U.S. WASH convening in Washington, D.C. "Solving for the nation’s water access issues defies any silver bullet or work at just one scale. All the sectors are needed, desperately, to effect a cultural transformation, where the primacy of this essential need is centered culturally. And, the needs and the potential of the communities that are most impacted by the lack of water infrastructure and water access are centered as well. On Thursday, attendees advocated at the Capital for the WASH Access Data Collection Act, which would make sure comprehensive data is available to address the needs of ALL Americans.
