Sustainable Water Supply & Sanitation for All People
The Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) is a global multi-stakeholder partnership organisation that works to improve the lives of poor people. WSSCC enhances collaboration among sector agencies and professionals around sanitation and water supply and contributes to the broader goals of poverty eradication, health and environmental improvement, gender equality and long-term social and economic development. WSSCC was created in 1990 through a United Nations General Assembly resolution and is hosted by the World Health Organization (WHO). With members in more than 80 countries, WSSCC has the legitimacy and flexibility of a non-governmental organisation. Through Networking & Knowledge Management, Advocacy & Communications and the Global Sanitation Fund, WSSCC is at the forefront of knowledge, debate and influence on water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) for all.
