Education and capacity development

Freshwater is vital for human prosperity; yet humankind’s efforts to provide clean water and sanitation for all is falling behind, as the indicators of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 show clearly (United Nations, 2023a). Education and capacity development are key to addressing this challenge. In many parts of the world, and in many developing countries in particular, water and sanitation are not optimally managed. The lack of training and relevant skills is at the heart of this issue (UNESCO, 2014).

Sustainable Development Goals:

Good Health and Well-Being

Clean Water and Sanitation

Responsible Consumption and Production
