IRC elected in Sanitation and Water for All Steering Committee

In the June 2011 meeting, the Sanitation and Water for All Steering Committee decided to establish a new Constituency, the Research and Learning Constituency, as half of the Partners in the Sector Partners Constituency fall into this well-defined grouping. The Research and Learning (R&L) Constituency will have one seat on the Steering Committee to represent the distinct perspective of the R&L Partners. IRC, represented by Ms. Erma Uytewaal, has been elected by the R&L Partners to represent the group on the Steering Committee.

There are now seven Constituencies in SWA, all represented on the Steering Committee:

• Developing Country
• Donor
• Multilateral
• Development Bank
• Civil Society Network
• Research and Learning
• Sector Partners

The SWA Steering Committee now comprises 21 members.

The second SWA Global High Level meeting is slated for April 2012 just prior to the World Bank Spring Meetings, in Washington DC.
