In this Official Launch Event we are shining the spotlight on water and sanitation utilities. We will share highlights from the publication"Global Outlook on Water and Sanitation Service Providers: Water for Sustainable Cities" produced by UN-Habitat’s Global Water Operators’ Partnership Alliance in collaboration with IRC WASH and Water for People, which is highlighting the crucial role of water and sanitation utilities in achieving the Sustainable Development Agenda and notably SDG 6 on clean water and sanitation. The report will serve as a critical tool in amplifying their voices and informing the global dialogue.
