The Open Government and Water and Sanitation Declaration is an international call to bring together water and open government reformers and mobilize ambitious action that strengthens implementation of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) service delivery. It outlines targeted recommendations that leverage transparency, participation and accountability that can be utilized through Open Government Partnership and other WASH forums to increase collaboration and realize the human right to water and sanitation. The Declaration has now been endorsed by over 50 organisations including the Inter American Development Bank to help build a movement for open government action on WASH delivery challenges. The Declaration has been used as a tool to support civil society in countries including Mexico and Indonesia to understand the type of water commitments that need to be prioritised in the OGP Partnership.
