Aguasan 2019: Advancing the Human Right to Water and Sanitation

35th AGUASAN* Workshop 2019 took a closer look at the advancement of the Human Right to Water and Sanitation through inclusive business approaches. It was an exciting week full of key notes, practical insights and group works on case studies of young WASH entrepreneurs. We were able to discuss the interlinkages between Human Rights to Water and Sanitation and Market Based Approaches in depth. The workshop also reflected on how to overcome the inclusive business dilemma in the intersection of the HRTWS approach and the Business approach to enable a higher realisation of human rights to water and sanitation.
