and Hygiene Week
and World Water Day 2006
The first Global WASH Forum in Dakar, December 2004 called
for a Sanitation and Hygiene Week to be celebrated annually
through 15-21 March, strategically placed to lead up to "World
Water Day" on 22 March. Since this year World Water Day
fell on a Wednesday, many WSSCC partners decided to celebrate
Sanitation and Hygiene Week between 20th and 24th March, with
World Water Day in the middle.
All over the world activities ranging from slum clean-up
campaigns, TV game shows, press conferences, private sector
show rooms to drawing competitions , all helped to draw attention
to the importance of WASH and to engage people, especially
children, to actively participate in making a difference in
their communities.
