Aligned with the celebration of World Water Day, Manila Water Company’s social development arm Manila Water Foundation joined the UN 2023 Water Conference from March 22-24 in the United States.
Manila Water Foundation Integrated WASH Program Manager Bess Par was part of the delegation from the Philippines.
The primary outcome of the conference will be the Water Action Agenda, which is “the collection of all water-related voluntary commitments to accelerate progress in the second half of the Water Action Decade 2018-2028 and the second half of the 2030 Agenda.” The conference’s closing session featured summaries from the five interactive dialogues, which got to the heart not only of what water is but what it can be: a driver of equality, a solution to the climate crisis, a facilitator of peace.
