As Rami Wehbeh () mentioned during the plenary, we must approach interventions at the mission level holistically. It is important to think how all of the projects are serving a purpose towards a water secure world and climate resilient countries. #UNCWaterandHealth

Is the biggest capacity development need to help translate research and practice to wider audiences? Enable scientists to join policy discussions, workers to join conversation + water peeps to contextualise risks alongside energy, climate, health etc. risks. #UNCWaterandHealth

Johannes Cullmann is looking for game-changers before the UN Water Conference which is the midterm review for the Water Action Decade. They are “mandated by sheer power, community behind them, and possibility to do things”. Which ones do you want to see? #UNCWaterandHealth
As mentioned “Create the momentum and don’t lose that momentum to guide member states and stakeholders”. Involving everyone and having our voices heard is critical. #UNCWaterandHealth

Representative Eqriselda Lopez (El Salvador) is giving it to us straight at the #UNCWaterandHealth. We have to mobilize to influence the UN water agenda and to make sure change happens. It's our responsibility to drive global change.

Are we washing out the true impacts of our WaSH interventions?
WaSh interventions may be missing the bigger picture around efficiency without seasonality.
WaSH interventions may be performing better than estimated in lower climatic pressures

Community meetings and intense door-to-door sales attempts were most effective in driving increases in basic sanitation, but households preferred to use a mason they already knew rather than one trained by the project. #UNCWaterandHealth

While data on many aspects of WASH in HCFs are limited, they are growing, and show significant disparities for women and people with disabilities (Rick Johnston, JMP), and closing data gaps is leading to action (John Brogan, Helvetas) #UNCwaterandheath
