Talk summary:<\/p>\n

Community-level organizations and international actors alike support a Partnership Approach to accelerate progress towards SDG6. A Water Partnerships approach facilitates involvement from stakeholders including households, village leaders, teachers, NGOs, and water committees. This presentation shares recommendations from 400 water leaders on four continents to inform a partnership approach: who are the important stakeholders, what are their roles and what tools enable participation by all? Specifically, we share a three-step process to empower participation in water management: 1. Awareness of water contaminants and their connection to health, 2. Education of the options, and 3. Resources for water action. These lessons will inform future safely managed water solutions.<\/p>\n

Dr. Karl Zimmermann is a water researcher and water lover. As part of his PhD studies at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada), Zimmermann began with research on biological ion exchange drinking water filters before wading into the WASH sector. His Tools for Water Partnerships study learned from water leaders on five continents about what, in addition to innovative technologies themselves, are important for the long-term success of drinking water and sanitation solutions. Karl now works as a Water Treatment Engineer with WSP Canada in Vancouver.<\/p>\n
