 One of the biggest problems of water supply and sanitation services is that a large portion of the population in the global south do not have access to safely managed services. Approximately 31% of the population in Sub-Saharan Africa, for example, have access to safely managed services which means that 69% of the population still needs to be supplied with safely managed water supply and sanitation services by 2030. The overwhelming majority of the 69% of the population resides in low-income areas. What we are doing here in Kigali is we have organised a course together with UN Habitat and together with FEI Dutch Water Operators and we are bringing together the coordinators from water providers who are targeting service provisioning in low-income areas. Often within these water utilities, these water and sanitation utilities, servicing low-income areas is not a priority and that means that a lot of these coordinators have a very difficult task within their water utility. What we do in this course is we try to stimulate exchange, knowledge exchange between the participants, exchange of experiences all with the idea that they learn from each other and also that they develop a network that if in the future they have questions or ideas that they can contact each other and support each other. This is the second course that we are doing. We did a first course also with coordinators of water service provisioning to low-income areas in Nairobi in 2018 and what we see is an enormous improvement in the motivation but also the capacities of these coordinators to develop new ways of servicing low-income areas. There seems to be a lot of momentum, a lot of new ideas and you see a lot of interaction between the different water utilities. What we are looking at basically is for them to first of all do research, find out how many Q6 should be there in a specific area, what kind of management model they should be able to utilise. So they need one for a lot of monitoring, a lot of research and maybe working with the community especially to protect the infrastructure. We are doing a lot of plantations in the country that keeps the impact of environment lower so that they will keep their dams safe and serve for a longer time and their boroughs become productive because the land is very rich and the weather is very good to have a plantation and to have trees everywhere so that we can cope up with the current situation. Strengthening the capacity of these coordinators that coordinate water service provisioning to low-income areas is important because ultimately if we are to achieve target 6.1 or progress in achieving target 6.1 these coordinators are going to be the main people that are going to make that happen. Without them there is no way we even come close to achieving target 6.1.
