During this first online ‘NWP Meet-up’ event, we will take a virtual world tour and share a brief overview of what is happening in the international water sector. We will connect and focus on Water, Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH); the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); investing in water; the challenges water intense industries are facing; and the need for sustainable water technology solutions.
Date: Friday 11 September
Time: 16:00 – 17:30 CET

Joining us at the virtual table will be:
- Bianca Nijhof, Managing Director NWP | speaker
What can we learn from each other during the pandemic? What is happening in the Dutch water sector and the rest of the world? How can we prepare for a new equilibrium in which the real value of water is taken into account?
- Patricia Vermeulen, CEO Amref Flying Doctors | speaker
The lack of WASH is one of the most pressing issues. What short term actions are needed and are already being implemented? If we still want to reach the SDGs, what long term solutions are then needed to make sure we stay on track?
- Will Sarni, Water Foundry | speaker
Ensuring access to water for water-intense industries offers opportunities: how can companies in the long run use the current situation to speed up investments for commercial and sustainable water technology solutions?
- Joseph Murabula, CEO KIFFWA | speaker
The Kenya Innovative Finance Facility for Water (KIFFWA) is experiencing how Covid-19 can speed up certain drinking water initiatives, but it also stresses the need to keep the long-term focus on investments that are still needed for sustainable long-term drinking water solutions.
The webinar will be moderated by Erik Peekel, who will convey the questions and input that participants submit during the webinar.
