7th meeting of the Expert group on equitable access to water and sanitation

28 May (9:30) - 29 May (12:30) 2024

The Expert Group on Equitable Access to Water and Sanitation under the Protocol on Water and Health serves as a platform for countries and stakeholders from the region to exchange experiences. It aims at supporting countries in their efforts to ensure equitable access to water and sanitation by providing a platform to exchange experiences in developing situational analyses, defining action plans and implementing concrete measures.

The 7th meeting of the Expert Group was organized by the UNECE, as part of the joint secretariat of the Protocol on Water and Health, in cooperation with France, Hungary and North Macedonia. It took place virtually on 28-29 May 2024 (two morning sessions).

The objectives of the 7th meeting of the Expert Group were:

  • To take stock of recent progress made in the work on equitable access to water and sanitation under the Protocol on Water and Health;
  • To brainstorm and highlight the new priorities to be addressed by the revised Score-card and possible limitations of the tool, based on the lessons learned from the application of the draft revised Score-card in Montenegro and Albania;
  • To discuss the future needs of countries working in the framework of the Protocol on Water and Health to further improve equitable access to water and sanitation in order to inform the development of the Protocol’s programme of work for 2026-2028;
  • To hear and take into account the perspective of partners from outside the pan-European region on the equitable access work under the Protocol.
