Name a WASH topic you want to learn more about... Did you know there's likely a recent literature review already done on that topic at globalwaters.org/resources/w…? I have learned so much over the years from @Dan4WASH informative WASH emails in my inbox! I'm missing them already!

A friend, mentor & colleague Prof Tony Allen just passed away. His contribution to the field of #water will be remembered for generations. @kclgeography & @KingsWaterKCL @Kings_SGA will be lot poorer without his presence. I am 💔. May he rest in peace. He will be dearly missed.

Actions by governments to promote hand hygiene, including providing infrastructure, and activities to ensure access to water and sanitation, are critical at this time. So what have countries already put in place? #GLAAS summarizes current status & efforts: bit.ly/3hJnO8D

A failure to invest in the provision of #WASH services for all & to promote strict hygiene protocols on a large scale can be disastrous in combating #COVID19 in countries like #Nigeria. There is political will more than ever. #100andChange can be an impetus for a global solution.
Ending Neglected Tropical Disease - #NTDs - is doable, and will require strong support from the #WASH community. Pls join event Wednesday to chart path forward w @WHO @WHOAFRO @GlobalWater2020 @mwelentuli @wateraid @HelenCHamilton @drwendyharrison + other celebs

On 9 June, REACH & @UNICEF co-organised a webinar on how to measure water #affordability and improve policy response during crises like the COVID19 pandemic, with 480+ participants. In this blog Prof @RHope06 & Dr @GuyHutton identify 5 key lessons: reachwater.org.uk/can-the-ru… #SDG6
Despite being critical in the COVID-19 response, improving hygiene is mostly absent in donor commitments to fight the pandemic, #WaterAid. < 15% of countries have enough funding to implement #WASH plans. IPC/WASH are a priority NOW. #BASICS #100andChange devex.com/news/donors-are-ig…
READ: @GLAAS_TrackFin have compiled findings on national policies, plans, targets and finance relating to #Covid19 & 💧WASH🚽 This is a useful resource for civil society aiming to hold governments accountable for their Covid commitments. bit.ly/30xEM3i

#COVID-19 will delay significantly achievements of #SDG on #water and #sanitation. Complexities of reaching targets have increased. See our views @CtortajadaQ @UofGlasgow @TheWaterCentre @WRDwatermatters bit.ly/2ALvF4m
