2021, a very active year
2021 was a busy year for the Water Fund, which has allowed it to continue working closely with other key development actors in Latin America and the Caribbean. Among other events, the Fund participated in the organisation and implementation of the 1st edition of the Ibero-American Environmental Week, organised in conjunction with the SEGIB (Ibero-American General Secretariat) and in which it was incorporated a thematic axis on water resources coordinated by the Water Fund and the Directorate General for Water (DGA), belonging to the Spanish Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (MITERD).
The Fund also attended World Water Week, organised by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), with a session on the importance of public toilets, and actively participated in the 22nd Conference of Ibero-American Water Directors (CODIA), which is supported with Spanish funding and technical assistance.
Furthermore, in March, the Fund received the iAgua LATAM 2021 award, which recognises entities that contribute the most to water safety, wastewater treatment and improvements in water and sanitation in Latin America..
