Our positions

Access to essential services is an absolute priority for the economic and social success of developing countries and conditions access to health, education and women's economic autonomy.

The establishment of solidarity mechanisms guarantees poor people connected to the network affordable access to water, sanitation and electricity services.

High population migration to cities and increasing pressure on water and energy demand require a legal framework and urban planning policies to ensure decent living conditions.

If the right to water, tirelessly defended by (Re)sources, was recognized in 2010 by the United Nations, its implementation by States remains an equally major challenge.

The right to sanitation is a fundamental dimension of human dignity and requires a precise definition and legislation to make this right real at the international level.

The right to electricity is a prerequisite for sustainable access to drinking water. Both fluids require efficient combined management and environmentally friendly use.

Access to essential services must be integrated at the highest level as a priority issue, in particular through the adoption of binding legislation.

Current policies must take the measure of the aggravating effects of urban growth and global warming through the implementation of adaptation and mitigation plans.

Multi-actor cooperation (public authorities, operators, donors, civil society, etc.) is necessary to achieve tangible progress on the ground.
