Water remains a strategic priority for both Switzerland's humanitarian assistance (Swiss Humanitarian Aid – SHA / Expert Group WASH) and development cooperation (SDC – Section Water). Switzerland has longstanding engagement in strengthening water governance, service delivery and resilience in fragile, conflict-affected and climate-vulnerable contexts. The 3rd United Nations Water Conference, scheduled for December 2026 in the United Arab Emirates, will represent a key milestone in accelerating progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) and shaping the global water agenda beyond 2030. Switzerland will play a prominent role as co-chair of one of the six conference's interactive dialogues (IDa on "Water for People") together with the Republic of Ghana. At the same time, the African Union has declared 2026 the "Year of Water Sustainability", further strengthening the international political momentum around water governance, water services and investment in the sector. In this context, the International Cooperation Forum (IC Forum) 2027, Switzerland's flagship event for international cooperation, will also focus on water. This will offer a unique opportunity to highlight Swiss leadership, partnerships and innovation in the water sector including humanitarian, development and peace.
