U.S. WASH Advocacy The Senator Paul Simon Water for the World Act of 2014 The Future of WASH Advocacy UNC Water and Health Conference October 2015

WaterAid’s Approach Influencing work is core to WaterAid:

WaterAid’s Advocacy Priorities 1.Sector Strengthening and Governance 2.Financing 3.Equality and Non-Discrimination 4.Climate Change 5.Sustainability 6.Health

Water for the World Water for the World aligned with our priorities: Improved pro-poor targeting (equality) Increased focus on women and girls (equality) Principles for lasting benefits (sustainability) Capacity building (sector strengthening) U.S. institutional commitment and predictability (sector strengthening) Increased integration with health outcomes (health)

Why were we successful? A safe issue Political interest in aid effectiveness Strong analytical basis Committed Congressional champions

Why were we successful? A huge and diverse coalition, all with their own reasons to care about WASH!

How did we win? Preexisting trusting relationships with USAID, State, Congress, NGOs and FBOs to build on Careful and strategic selection of Congressional champions Integrated language to attract people and partners with diverse interests Diverse voices to speak to integrated issues Allies talking to allies, Members reaching across the aisle Media/social engages supporters in advocacy Negotiation negotiation negotiation…based on solid understanding of technical and political issues

Why are partnerships key to success? Access to a voice already trusted by your target (based on faith, geography, priority, etc) Volume is harder to ignore Diverse coalitions show the multiple benefits/impact of your change objective Share the burden, strategy, ideas generation and be smarter together!

Thank You! Lisa Schechtman Director of Policy and Advocacy WaterAid America
