The theme of this Arab Week was "Towards Sustainable Development in Water and Sanitation", and the Geneva Water Hub actively participated as a partner, and organized a panel session as part of the Opening Ceremony on Sunday 3 March 2019, entitled "The Global Observatory on Water and Peace: An innovative instrument for sustainable development".
In 2019, the Global Observatory on Water and Peace, a global network of diverse partners "nodes", engaged, in a cooperative spirit, to promote water as an instrument of peace, has continued to build those partnerships.
