The objective of achieving universal access to drinking water and sanitation is a great challenge for our country. We are pleased to have joined a multi-stakeholder platform that mobilizes actions of all stakeholders to support the priorities of our government. Together with the other partners of the SWA, we will seek to strengthen collaboration and exchange in terms of financing the sector and innovative ideas that allow us to end inequalities.
Hon. José Luis AceroVice Minister of Water and Sanitation, Colombia
The SWA ministerial gatherings have been a unique platform for us to have exchanges with peers who are also committed to achieving universal access in our lifetime. The recent meeting between my President and the SWA High-level Chair provided an opportunity for Nigeria to confirm our ambition at the highest political level and for SWA to show its readiness to keep us to our word. I am truly honored to be part of such a partnership. With such multi-stakeholder energy and our continued political drive, we should be able to bend the arc history towards services for all in our lifetime.
