Description
The ONGAWA's commitments for the Water Action Agenda are the following:
- We will convey in the spaces where we participate at national and international level the need to recognise the global water crisis and to protect and manage water as a common good.
- The programmes we promote will seek to promote water governance based on human rights principles, especially the equal participation of women.
- We will work to ensure capacity building and institutional stability in the regions where we work, in order to achieve sustainability in the management of drinking water supply and sanitation systems in the most vulnerable contexts. Specifically, promoting and supporting community management practices.
- We will promote the use of accessible, disaggregated and public information systems that specifically include information on the most vulnerable groups, emphasising the need for information in relation to the different categories of the human right to water and sanitation.
- We will prioritise actions to achieve at least basic access to reach the most vulnerable and marginalised populations and areas, with special focus on sanitation and hygiene, including the management of the menstrual hygiene.
- We will carry out exhaustive monitoring of Spanish Official Development Assistance in the sector, in order to know precisely where and to whom the aid is destined and its social impact.
- We will demand, in alliance with other organisations, that the human rights to water and sanitation be respected and incorporated in other areas, beyond international aid, in Spain's external action, based on policy coherence.
An approach based on human rights is the conceptual framework which legitimizes our actions directed towards human development, as well as the instrument directing them in all phases.
We work for the realization and consecution of human rights and, in particular, the Human Right to water and sanitation, and we will achieve this from our sectorial specialization, through the provision of services, the strengthening of capacities, incidence, the improvement of public policies and the empowering of a critical and active civil society in all of the countries we are working in.
We are aware that the changes we pursue require partnering and bringing together common forces with other organizations. We partner with public and private entities who share our objectives and ethical criteria, and who we can count on through complementization when it comes to influencing governments and policies or for the development of the objectives we give ourselves.
The commitments made by ONGAWA aim to contribute to accelerate the implementation of SDG6 through actions to improve the public policies and interventions of Spanish Cooperation for Development, in partnership with other organisations.
In addition, in alliance with other international organisations, we will work to influence the improvement of public and private actors working in international cooperation in the water and sanitation sector, so that they do so from a human rights perspective.
This will be done through studies, training activities, cooperation projects and awareness-raising and political advocacy activities.
