Global South Academic Conclave

 

Many countries in the Global South have achieved significant progress towards sustainable water and sanitation services, while mitigating and adapting to climate change. Climate response will also require a renewed focus on improved access to services at home. With varied approaches being used across countries, knowledge in the Global South can be an effective catalyst for accelerating development towards SDGs and climate resilience. Peer-to-peer learning will help provide practical insights about approaches that work, and pitfalls to avoid.

In this context, a South-to-South Conclave amongst academic institutions is organised to focus on cross learning across countries and regions.

The conclave brings together academia and research institutions to discuss WASH and related issues around climate change, equity, financing, monitoring. Focus is on both academia programmes as well as experience emerging from field-based action research experiences.
