World Water Week in Stockholm

The World Water Week happens every year in Stockholm. This international conference, organised by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), gives an opportunity to WASH actors to meet and share their practices and experiences.

The pS-Eau is usually present at this event. Besides our interest to follow the latest findings in the WASH sectors, alongside the learning of other experience, Stockholm also remains a good opportunity to meet our international partners, especially those from the English-speaking networks. Preceding the World Water Week, the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA) network, from which pS-Eau is a member, organise an annual meeting.
