Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation: Video from Clinton Global Initiative Seminar
Last week's Clinton Global Initiative Annual
Meeting included, for the first
time ever, a session focused on "Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation". The high-level panel explored sustainable,
community-led solutions to the global
water and sanitation crisis. In particular,
the panel focused on
decentralised solutions, such as
“point of use” technologies for household
use, or community-based “micro-utilities”
that can deliver safe drinking water as a service
with modest capital expenditures.
Programme participants included:
- Tralance Addy, President and CEO, WaterHealth International
- Jon Lane, Executive Director, Water
Supply and Sanitation
Collaborative Council - Maria Mutagamba, Minister of State for Water, Uganda
- Rohini Nilekani, Chairperson, Arghyam Trust
- António Guterres, Former Prime Minister, Portuguese Republic, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
