National Water Roadmaps towards the 2030 Agenda…

While there is increasing awareness of the importance of water to achieve all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there is still a need for more effective, integrated and coordinated actions, coupled with strong, coherent and explicit integration and prioritization of water into national sustainable development strategies, policies and investment plans. In this context, as proposed by FAO and endorsed in the Dushanbe Declaration, a country-led water dialogue and country-owned National Water Roadmaps or strategies will help to strengthen the inter-sectoral coordination on sustainable water resources management and accelerate the implementation of SDG 6 as well as the 2030 Agenda.
