09.00-10.30

Building collective action against corruption in the water sector

When corrupt behaviours are socially accepted, changing the norm constitutes a collective action problem that requires joint efforts from different stakeholders. This event will present experiences from across the globe, from regulators, utilities, and water user associations.

16.00-17.30

Monitoring public financial flows and influencing pro-poor budgets

According to national legislation, in many low-income countries, decisions on budgets at local government level need to be set through citizen engagement. However, in reality, both local governments and CSOs struggle to make the required accountability platforms a reality. At this session, CSOs and governments from Bangladesh, India, and Kenya will discuss their successes and challenges to give voice to the marginalized, and what this means for water sector budget allocations.

Focus on Asia: strengthening governance to address Asia’s water challenges

Asia’s rapid economic growth poses challenges to achieve the goal of water security for all, in part due to a lack of information, and weak institutions and governance. The challenges of scaling up good practices will be debated at this session, with a special focus on measurement best practices for urban water governance, evidence on the impact of disaster risk governance reforms, and experiences with ADB Asian Water Development Outlook (AWDO) methodology for basin governance.

Where the regulator hits the road: rural water supply

Simple regulatory standards and monitoring, reporting and support systems can help ensure rural populations aren’t left behind in realizing human rights. But how can this be done without overburdening community groups and private operators, local governments, and regulators?

Seminar – Water governance with and for all: Is it working?

“Water Governance 2.0: Law and accountability”

This session will focus on the importance of both ‘informal’ rules or social constructs and ‘formal’ policies and regulations for water governance. Common challenges will be explored with reference to theoretical and practical approaches. Including presentations and discussions on Hybrid water rights systems for pro-poor water governance in Africa and on Social accountability and water integrity: three case studies.

16.00-17.30

Showcase on accountability for water: how to put the last first

Imagine a future where: governments ensure realisation of rights to water and sanitation for all; water utilities meet service standards at a fair price; the private sector complies with all regulations; climate resilience plans are implemented; financiers fulfil promises; NGOs are answerable to beneficiaries; media and academia work in the public interest; communities deliver good water stewardship; and all stakeholders act with integrity. The key to realising this fairer water future is stronger accountability. This session will explore cross-sector experiences on accountability for water from Ethiopia, Tanzania and Kenya.

The power of self-assessment: triggering action for WASH in schools
