5. Organisation/governance - 1 lead, int
Organisation/governance - 1 lead, int. + local alliances - heavy, many working groups - alliance mentality: alone faster, together further

7. Local presence/networks
The strength of the network lies in the countries - more effectiveness and realising more impact!
Working together outside the WASH Alliance programme 
Local networks exist of NGOs, private sector, financial institutions, consumers, governments, and more
Learning together: learning programme, exchange visits

9. Communication/branding
One message, one voice = more impact 
Online portal: website, learning platform, newsletters etc.   
Events, e.g. Stockholm Water Week, World Water Day, own events   
Internal communication: leaning from each other
Documenting and communicating best practices in and outside the network
Developing and promoting shared approach: FIETS and acceleration  
Partnerships with “bigger players” - BMGF or EU
