aligning national development agenda with regional and global goals.

• At a regional level: regional forums like SAARC and the annual meeting of the African Union.

• At a global level: the High Level Political Forum (HLPF).

• Thematic: thematic modelling and reporting will cover specialist areas and indicators.

5 reasons to be excited1. Resourcing – the goals will encourage governments to hold discussions

on what resources are needed to domesticate the goals.

2. Priorities – governments will prioritise certain goals within national strategies and this is an opportunity to make the case for WASH.

3. Accountability – what we measure, we treasure! For example, calling for a universal baseline on WASH in schools. This will now have to be reported on regularly.

4. Financing – opportunity to influence discussions on planning systems, budgeting, donor financing from large donors, foundations and corporates.

5. Tackling inequality – “no one left behind” is a critical mantra of the framework and is expected to be applied in all monitoring and reporting.
