IWRA in collaboration with Human Right 2 Water (HR2W) and South Africa’s Water Research Commission (WRC), is offering a Master class series on "Institutional Responsibility to support SDG 6 and the rights to Water and sanitation."
This five-module Master class introduces the steps that authorities and businesses can take to understand how they can improve relationships with the community, engender innovative solutions to support sustainable development goals, track the key indicators for enabling SDG-target improvements, and support sustainable water management goals.
This class gave an introduction to the topic, SDG 6 and human rights; challenges to achieving 100% equitable access to water and sanitation; the responsibilities of businesses, water authorities, utilities, and ministries for protecting human rights, with a focus on water and sanitation; the business case for taking a human rights-based approach, e.g. community support and innovation; how monitoring human rights indicators improves sustainability.
Hosted by the Water Research Commission and the South African Human Rights Commission, Dr. Luxon Nhamo, Samkelisiwe Hlophe-Ginindza and Yuri Ramkissoon
