The World Bank is co-hosting the Sanitation and Water for All (SWA) Finance Ministers’ Meeting at the 2017 IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings, the first high-level SWA meeting to be held since the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The focus of this meeting will be on how to address the financing gap for universal access to water and sanitation, which is estimated to be $114 billion per year until 2030. Thought leaders on water issues, including Matt Damon, co-founder of Water.org, will hold a conversation on how to tap into additional sources of financing and use existing resources more effectively and efficiently to provide water and sanitation for all.
