International Small Community Water Supply Network

The International Small Community Water Supply Network was formed to promote the achievement of substantive and sustainable improvements to the safety of small community water supplies around the world, particularly in rural areas, as a contribution to the Millennium Development Goals related to water and sanitation. The Network members collaborate on their shared objectives of:

 

  • developing internationally-recognized guidance;
  • developing and facilitating access to tools to implement this guidance; and
  • building the evidence base to facilitate advocacy for political support.

 

Membership in the Network is open to all that agree with the Network's purpose and objective and who are willing to commit themselves to working towards achieving the objectives of the Network. To participate on this Network, including obtaining access to the Network's virtual forum, and for all other enquiries, please email scwsn@who.int.
