The 32nd UN-Water Meeting will gather UN-Water Members and Partners in Rome, Italy, from 28-29 January 2020, to discuss international water and sanitation policy issues and opportunities to coordinate the work of their respective organizations to address them.

UN-Water plays a coordinating role within the UN, to ensure that the UN family “delivers as one” in response to water-related challenges. The overarching focus of UN-Water’s Members and Partners is to support UN Member States to sustainably manage water and sanitation. This mission is carried out through three areas of work: efforts to inform policies; efforts to monitor and report; and efforts to inspire action.

Agenda items at the 32nd UN-Water meeting will include:

• Way forward to accelerate progress on SDG 6 implementation;
• Update on the process to the 2021 and 2023 high-level events;
• Update on the 2020 country level coordination work;
• Expert Group on Regional Level Coordination Terms of Reference;
• Update on the UN-Water Analytical Brief on Unconventional Water Resources;
• Discussion on the draft UN-Water 2030 Strategy; and
• Approval of the UN-Water Work Programme 2020-2021.
