The idea of a WASH Network Circle was born in 2022 from bilateral discussions between SuSanA and other networks, who expressed the need for key networks in the WASH sector to harmonise their activities and identify synergies. The WASH Network Circle was officially launched in Bonn in May 2023 during a meeting hosted by GIZ. Key networks including IWA, FSMA, GWOPA, pS-Eau, SSWM, SWEP, WIN, SaniHub and SuSanA engaged in productive discussions and established an action plan to align their messages and expand their impact. These networks are key sector platforms, actively working towards the acquiring, improving, and sharing knowledge in water supply, sanitation management and hygiene.
While each network focuses on specific aspects of WASH, there are many cross-cutting topics that can be effectively addressed through collaborative efforts. To enhance the networks' reach and ensure broader access to information regarding significant events, announcements, and resources within the WASH domain, a Network Circle Newsfeed (NCN) is implemented on all participating networks' websites. This NCN features regularly published and bundled content, providing valuable insights to a wider audience.
The link to the concept note and the guideline on "how to integrate the NCN on your website, can be found below.
