President Salva Kiir has signed the country’s Heads of State Initiative Compact on Water and Sanitation.
The signing of the Compact on Water and Sanitation marks a significant step towards improving the water and sanitation situation in South Sudan, which faces many climate-related, social and economic challenges.
The WASH Compact stems from the March 2023, Global UN Water Conference that was held in New York, calling on member states to, among others, increase budget allocations, initiate innovative sources of financing, and comprehensive plans for the construction of vital water and sanitation infrastructure.
The signing ceremony held in the President’s office today was attended by the ambassadors of Japan, Germany, Netherlands and country representatives of African Development Bank and World Bank.
