The preparation of the 10th World Water Forum has now entered its active phase. On February 15 and 16, nearly a thousand members of the world water community will meet in Jakarta at the initiative of the highest authorities  of the Republic of Indonesia. Indonesia and our Council are organizing this 10th Forum with a double objective.

First, to confirm that water as well as sanitation are political priorities. “Water is politics” at all levels, international, national, and local. And these priorities require actions and solutions which are themselves political.

Secondly, to express loudly that bringing water to several million people who are deprived of it requires a perfect alliance between innovation, governance, and finance. And this alliance requires concrete answers that will enter into the daily life of the poorest people.

The World Water Council and its member organizations are proud to be part of the co-organization of the 10th World Water Forum which will be held in Bali from 18 to 24 May 2024. Thank you to Indonesia, to the President of the Republic, to the Ministers in charge and to the Indonesian colleagues for making this 10th World Water Forum a success that will be part of the Great Water Story.
