AquaFed is calling on all organisations working in water and wastewater to work with us to break down silos and accelerate progress on the Water Action Agenda and SDG6 targets. We're open to all organisations, not just private operators, to join AquaFed so that collectively, we can plan and implement multi-stakeholder partnerships for Water Action Agenda Commitments. Last week's Special Event on SDG6 and the Water Action Agenda at the UN in New York (16 ), revealed that a lack of collaboration and partnership is the biggest factor holding back Commitments from being achieved. Let's break down these silos once and for all. Speak to us and let's see how we can work together. This is what our President, Fred Van Heems, said when he spoke at the UN event last week: "Water must always remain under public control, but for too long stakeholders who can implement solutions have been on different sides and in silos. “Private sector organisations bring innovation, technology, data and many other specialisms like skills and training best practise and efficient utility management. But these can only be implemented successfully via multi-stakeholder partnerships if the Water Action Agenda Commitments and SDG6 targets are to be achieved. As we know, effective partnerships themselves are an SDG goal and there is so much more potential for all organisations working in water. “AquaFed now has a second College of membership that is open to everyone because we are determined to break down silos and barriers to progress. Our aim is to implement successful public-private-partnerships together with all stakeholders. Collectively, we should all be making the case for and delivering services that operate transparently and make the best use of data.” https://lnkd.in/e747JJV7
