Reflections from DFID UK
Dr Stephen Linley-Jones Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Advisor
"I urge you to come up with creative solutions, but not just for the pilots - for the scale... We really do have to work together to bring forward significant shifts in funding to implement the changes we need." H.E. Amina J. Mohammed Deputy Secretary-General of the UN, during her keynote address at the Opening Plenary of World Water Week 2018

How do we get to implementation at scale?
Consider applying these four approaches to ensure that no one is left behind in the SDG era:
ONE, listen to young people's voices: not for the future of tomorrow, but for the future of today.
TWO, strengthen and embark in new partnerships to scale up actions. Create real partnerships that will allow us to share the risks.
THREE, develop interdisciplinary approaches that encompass water management, ecosystems and human development; and to not prioritise one over another.
FOUR, focus on water and sanitation for all to have an impact on people’s lives.
Day 3Beyond the finish line, from coverage to sustainable sanitation services | Tuesday 28 August | 9-10:30 AM
"If we are serious about (going) beyond the finish line. If we are genuinely serious about sustainability in rural sanitation – this is a long-term public commitment that we need to be making that is not tied to an arbitrary 2030 deadline. But (one that) reflects a long-term policy commitment and investments to get services support." Dr Guy HowardWASH Team Leader, DFID UK
“What we saw were persisting yearly gains in sanitation coverage and use in most SSH4A countries over time… If you meta-analyse these results in the same way we did in our systematic review, using the same code, you would have seen an SSH4A coverage increase of 47% (compared to 14%).”Dr Josh GarnAssistant Professor of Epidemiology, UNR
"One of these lessons that I think is important that we can learn from... is that persistence of interventions across time – not just over a one-year period – probably really matters. If we would have looked at SNV’s interventions over one year, maybe it would have been similar with these other studies. But being in a place for awhile seems to matter."
Mr. Laisa Wahanudin
In line with the SDGs, the national government of Indonesia is now headed in the direction of strategising for a post-ODF situation and safely managed sanitation. In this audio recording, Mr Wahanudin explains how the government is ensuring that sanitation-related activities in districts mirror the national government's priorities.
Day 4Leveraging learning and innovation in NGO-led WASH programming | Wednesday 29 August | 10-10:30
Day 5The SDG 6 debating game I Thursday 30 August
"Typically, investments go to treatment. We know treatment. It’s infrastructure. We can do this - it’s easy. We know how to procure this. But what about the poor? Perhaps we can start with emptying, or maybe, help manual emptiers by professionalising their work. How about we start from containment? What to do? I don’t know... You tell me." Danielle Pedi Senior Programme Officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation kicks off the #SDG debating game
"Vulnerability has many faces. When we make decisions to 'not leave anyone behind,' often we think about women and children, the elderly, PWDs and those living in slums. But do we think about city newcomers who are without networks? Tenants without tenancy contracts who don’t have a say on their sanitation conditions. Or religious, social, ethnic, sexual groups whose voices are not heard?"Maria CarreiroWASH Sector Leader at SNV in Indonesia deepens debate by asking the question: Who are we planning for?
Focus our minds on TREATMENT because we want safe sanitation NOW! Do you agree with this team? How do you think the jury voted?
