WASH Talk EP16 - Public Finance and Accountability w. Carlene Van der Westhuizen & Catarina Fonseca - a podcast by IRC WASH

IRC's podcast series WASH Talk shares ideas on changes the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector has to make in order to contribute to achieving universal access by 2030. To do so speakers from all over the world are given a voice in this podcast series. Find out more on www.ircwash.org/washtalk.

According to the World Bank, global WASH public resources needed to meet Sustainable Development Goal 6.1 and 6.2 on drinking water and sanitation (SDG 6) are behind by about US$ 116 billion per year. This presents massive hurdle to achieving the goals by the 2030 deadline.

In response to this challenge, WASH Talk Episode 16: Public Finance and Accountability focuses on the role civil society can play in narrowing this budget gap by holding governments accountable to SDG 6 targets with improved transparency tools.
