Advocacy

With billions of people still without access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation and with water resources coming under increasing threat, Coalition Eau aims to influence decision-makers to ensure water is placed firmly on the national and international agenda as a political and financial priority.

Expertise & analyses

Coalition Eau’s mission is to provide expertise and alternatives to help drive progress in the sector. We draw on this expertise to establish our positions and develop our advocacy work.

Network mobilisation

To increase mobilisation and ensure the voice of civil society is heard, Coalition Eau forges links with networks working to increase access to water and sanitation and preserve water resources in both the global North and South.

Training

Coalition Eau organises training sessions and brainstorming and lesson-sharing workshops to build the capacities of our members on specific topics, debate strategic sector issues and pool our NGO members’ expertise.

Information & awareness-raising

All too often, there is a lack of visibility of access to water and sanitation-related issues, as well as of water issues in general. To address this, Coalition Eau carries out public information and awareness-raising campaigns, particularly during key events, to highlight these issues and mobilise public opinion.
