Sanitation and Water for All Partnership

The Sanitation and Water for All Partnership (SWA) is a global partnership of national governments, funding institutions, civil society organisations, private sector companies and research institutions. Their common goal is to ensure access to safe water and sanitation for all. SWA catalyses political leadership and action, improves accountability and advocates more efficient use of resources. High-level political meetings are held regularly to ensure exchange, to document progress and to coordinate players and developments in the best possible way.
