The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the UN Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT) hosted an interagency meeting to review the draft Rapid Assessment Report (RAR) on Wastewater Management, from 21-22 January 2010, at the UN offices in Nairobi, Kenya.

The preparation of the RAR responds to the call by the Prince of Orange, in his capacity as Chair of the UN Secretary General’s Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation, for exploring how and where the UN can enhance its cooperation and further contribute to wastewater management. The January meeting brought together experts from UN-Water and GRID-Arendal to: review the draft report and provide additional input; identify and discuss key messages, recommendations and summary; and discuss details relating to the launch and promotion of the publication. The RAR will be launched on World Water Day, 22 March 2010.
