Cet événement a pour but de présenter le résumé du rapport de l'UNICEF "Water under fire 2" et de donner un aperçu de la série Water Under Fire (volumes 1, 2 et 3), ainsi que de poursuivre les discussions avec des experts de l'UNICEF, du Global WASH Cluster, de l'Agence suisse de développement, du gouvernement néerlandais, d'Action contre la faim et du Geneva Water Hub/Université de Genève.
L'UNICEF a lancé la campagne Water Under Fire le 22 mars 2019 afin d'attirer l'attention de la communauté internationale sur trois domaines fondamentaux dans lesquels des changements sont nécessaires de toute urgence pour garantir l'accès à un approvisionnement en eau et à un assainissement sûrs et durables dans les contextes fragiles. Le premier volume de la série de rapports se concentre sur l'action à travers le lien humanitaire-développement-paix pour renforcer la résilience du secteur WASH dans les contextes fragiles et touchés par les conflits.
This second volume is dedicated to the WASH sector's capacity to deliver a predictable, quality humanitarian WASH response and provides a change agenda and road map towards strengthening this capacity. The final volume in the series focuses on ending attacks on water and sanitation services in armed conflict.
An update on the last developments around the "Geneva list of the pinciples on the protection of water infrastructure" will also be made by the Geneva Water Hub’s Platform for International Water Law hosted at the University of Geneva.
