<span>Greetings all,</span><div>
<br></div><div>At the World Water Forum next week, the World Health Organization will host a session on Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage, on Wednesday 14 March, from 2:30pm to 4:30pm, as part of <b><u>Target 6</u></b> under <b>Thematic Priority 1.3 Hygiene and Health through Water and Sanitation</b>. The session will be held in <span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">Palais des Congres 17, Samena, Level 12.</span></div>
<div><br></div><div>Organizations focused on Millennium Development Goals 4, 5, 6 and those involved in the implementation of water and sanitation projects will be especially interested in attending this session to understand how low-cost interventions for household-based treatment of drinking-water and safe storage can significantly reduce the pathogen load in drinking water and, thereby, reduce the risk of diarrhoeal diseases, especially important in vulnerable populations. Attached is a flyer with further information. You may also visit <a href="http://bit.ly/xe6khG" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/xe6khG</a> to learn more about Target 1.3.6. </div>
<div><br></div><div>This session will focus on the importance of policies in this area, links to implementation, and the role of all key stakeholders in informing and supporting effective policy development.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We hope to see you there!</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards</div><div>Ryan</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">---</span><br>
