Call for Action – Appel À L’ Action

The #JustSanitation4AfricanCities campaign mobilises support for localising SDG6 with a feminist lens that forefronts the needs, capacities and aspirations of women and girls as sanitation users and providers across the sanitation service chain.

The campaign forms one of the key legacy elements built throughout the action-research project OVERDUE over the last three years. It has been built from the bottom up by partners from the seven OVERDUE cities (Abidjan, Antananarivo, Beira, Bukavu, Freetown, Mwanza and Saint Louis), that is, by sanitation practitioners who are getting things done on the ground.

The campaign has already been endorsed more than 50 actors from 22 African cities – members of CSOs, NGOs, governments, and utility providers – who are committed and well positioned to embrace the challenge of building equitable sanitation for women and men across urban Africa.

In a regional meeting in Nairobi on 11-12 September 2023, we discussed contributions from many cities across Africa and agreed on a Call for Action that was shared at the SDG Summit in New York (Sept 2023).
