WSSCC helped to drive preparations for the meeting and was active at the SACOSAN event in Colombo and at the preceding gathering of civil society organisations. WSSCC teamed up with WaterAid, the Freshwater Action Network South Asia, and others to bring the voices of the people to the podium, highlight the vital topics such as equity and inclusion and raise the challenges around the unserved in the region. The three organisations provided input to the final document through a Declaration of the Pre-SACOSAN-IV Consultation Meeting of civil society organisations (CSOs), and welcomed The Colombo Declaration, which outlines ministerial commitments made in SACOSAN-IV.
Over a hundred civil society members, community leaders and grassroots activists from across the region queued behind a giant toilet to highlight the nearly one billion people living without access to adequate sanitation in South Asia
