Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) are not just basic needs – they are fundamental to health, dignity, and sustainable development. Yet in 2025, billions of people worldwide still lack safe drinking water and adequate sanitation, while climate change, population growth, and fragile infrastructure make the challenge ever more urgent. How can we close the financing gap, scale innovative solutions, and attract more investment into WASH systems that deliver real impact? What opportunities exist for actors across development, finance, and policy to drive change and ensure access for all? The e-MFP WASH Action Group is excited to bring together in this webinar leading voices from UNICEF, Aqua for All, and INCOFIN to discuss: - The current state of WASH access and financing globally - Innovative approaches to mobilising private and blended capital for WASH - Practical pathways for investors and stakeholders to support lasting, inclusive WASH solutions. This timely conversation explores how together we can accelerate investment, collaboration, and innovation in WASH — because the time for action is now. Speakers: Alexandre Mateus, Aqua for All Aparna Pittie, INCOFIN Jorge Alvarez-Sala, UNICEF
