The number of people without access to safely managed drinking water services in urban areas is growing. More work is needed to improve infrastructure in cities - taking into account the challenges of working in densely populated areas with diverse populations.

On 24 June 2022, RISE held a global launch of a toolkit and policy brief on how to use participatory design to make water and sanitation infrastructure more inclusive and fairer.

Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector practitioners, decision-makers and funders from around the world joined to see the evidence-based resources that will help deliver more inclusive and fairer water and sanitation projects and services to the millions of people who need it the most in informal settlements.
