FRANCE SIGNS THE CALL TO ACTION!At the One Water Summit in Riyadh, a groundbreaking milestone was achieved as French President Emmanuel Macron officially endorsed the WASH Roadmap Call to Action. This pivotal moment highlights France's commitment to addressing water, sanitation, and hygiene challenges in humanitarian contexts, including the appointment of a Special Envoy on Water. This achievement was made possible through the collaboration of ACF, UNICEF, the French Water Partnership, and other dedicated partners. This declaration sets the stage for further advocacy, including the UN Water Conference 2026, and strengthens global efforts to prioritize WASH in emergencies.

Sep. 5th 2023: Launching event of the Hum. Dev. Peace Nexus Joint Operational Framework
The JOF sets out the thinking, a theory of change and key steps for putting the nexus approach into practice within the WASH sector along with establishing strong linkages with the integrated water resource management sector. It provides practical support to WASH programmes to build capacities relating to resilience, conflict sensitivity and peace (where feasible and relevant) within WASH systems, by applying the nexus approach in combination with other programmatic approaches.
The ultimate objective is to reduce people’s unmet needs, risk and vulnerabilities within the context of the WASH sector, increase their resilience, minimise harm and build peace. Register here.

Ongoing WASH Road Map project:
As the WRM timeline has been set to 2021-2025, 2023 marks its half. In order to evaluate, learn, and adapt, the WASH Road Map has kick-started a Mid-Term Review, an internal process led by an independent consultant, to analyse the implementation of the WRM strategy. The MTR has started in November 2022 and its final report was shared in July 2023. In September, a workshop in which all WRM actors are invited will take place to redesign the WRM.
