Join IRC and One For All at World Water Week 2024
Published on: 31/07/2024
World Water Week 2024 focuses on water cooperation, for peace and security in its broadest sense. The theme, Bridging Borders: Water for a Peaceful and Sustainable Future, asks us to recognise the regional and global interconnectivity of communities and nations, and underscores the collaborative effort needed to achieve a peaceful and sustainable future.
One For All will be present at the World Water Week. The theme aligns to our mission, that aims to provide sustained or improved water services for 200 million people by 2030, we are contributing to the global effort to ensure water security and equity.
The need for collaboration, collective impact and bold, innovative thinking feels even more imperative than when One For All conversations began many years ago. We will be together this World Water Week to help push these partnerships across all the other systems people depend on to thrive and live in peace.
We are excited to announce that One For All will have a booth (located at 4:18) and we look forward to seeing everyone there for a coffee, a chat, or to provide information about the Alliance. As IRC, we will also be supporting the Netherlands Pavilion, a dynamic networking space hosted by the Dutch Government. Additionally, we hope to see you at one (or more) of our sessions listed below:

One For All is an alliance of global organisations championing collaborative methods to support water, sanitation, and hygiene justice issues across the world. Members work with local, regional and national governments to implement climate resilient systems strengthening strategies. They also partner with champions in health, climate, economic development, education, and social justice to encourage sustainable economic growth and address the social justice inequities that come from a lack of access to safe water and sanitation. Alliance members hold themselves accountable to meet the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 6, water and sanitation for all, by 2030.
