Collaborative Implementation Plan

The Collaborative Implementation Plan outlines how the United Nations system will jointly implement the first-ever UN System-wide Strategy for Water and Sanitation. Covering the period 2025–2028, it identifies shared priorities and actions to strengthen coordination, align agency workplans, and deliver more coherent and effective support to Member States.

Specifically, the Plan supports the implementation of the Strategy by:

• Identifying time-bound actions toward achieving Strategy outputs and outcomes;
• Highlighting contributions by UN entities and partners to enhance synergies, address gaps, and reduce duplication;
• Providing a basis for aligning agency strategies and programming on water and sanitation;
• Serving as a joint framework for monitoring progress;
• Helping mobilize additional funding to implement the Strategy collectively.

As the first Plan of its kind, the approach is designed to be flexible and responsive to diverse needs, resources, and capacities across the UN system and its partners.
