To accelerate access to basic water & sanitation services for billions of people, governments will need to further leverage the private sector’s professional capacity & investment.

In the water sector, policy, institutions & regulation can be overlooked in favor of investment needs, infrastructure & technical solutions.

But there is an increasing urgency around the need for stronger implementation of PIR principles.

Access to water at home has given #RuralWomen in #Tanzania more opportunities.

Rapid, resilient, and inclusive growth is the best form of climate adaptation in the G5 #Sahel. Investments to expand access to resilient #water supply and sanitation services are critical to this growth.

[World Bank Group Climate and Environment @WBG_ClimateEnv]

The annual GDP of #Sahel countries could be reduced by 7 to 12% 📉 by 2050 without urgent climate adaptation investments.

With climate change amplifying the global water crisis, it is essential that governments take meaningful action to ensure this resource is managed sustainably. Water is essential – we must act now to put in place a framework for our future water security. https://t.co/hHT0rAfOWD

Great blog from @WorldBankWater's Joel Kolker on the path forward to attracting sorely-needed private investment to #WASH. First is a need for a long-term commitment to support improved efficiency and governance in #water & #sanitation service provision.

The world’s water crisis is accelerating – particularly in #Africa, where poor water quality is the root cause of 80% of diseases.

Without bold reforms & investment, lives & livelihoods will be at risk.

All too often, water subsidies fail to reach the poor, with the richest households receiving the lion’s share.

It doesn’t have to be this way.
