2011 Suite of bridge-building and presentations

During 2011, 300in6 is holding a series of bridge-building events to strengthen contacts between the stakeholders involved in scaling-up access to safe water. Among the partners are practitioners, producers, users, consumers, traders and social capital investors. They represent a full cross-section of our partnership constituency, from the wave of ‘new water utilities’ in decentralised delivery systems to the more conventional household water treatment and storage systems.

The emphasis of these events is on sharing successful business models, and enabling new partnerships to develop them further.

Among the events are the July WEDC Conference in Loughborough (UK); World Water Week in Stockholm (SE) in August; the Water and Health moot at Water Institute – University of North Carolina (US) in October; the annual meeting of the International Network on Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage systems, hosted at the same time by the Water Institute; and the November session of the Rural Water Supply Network in Kampala (UG).

The events include papers, presentations, B2B sessions and the enhanced 300in6 exhibition.
