The 2022 SDG 6 Special Event will take the SDG 6 Global Acceleration Framework to the country level with national experiences implementing the targets for water and sanitation.

The five accelerators outlined in the Framework – Financing, Data and Information, Capacity Development, Innovation, and Governance – will dramatically improve the international community’s support for the country's progress. Acceleration for water and sanitation in the context of the UN 2023 Water Conference will also be discussed.
