Day Three opens under the guidance of Master of Ceremonies Michelle Ashford, former COO of WICS, and explores how water and sanitation systems can be designed to serve everyone — regardless of geography, infrastructure, or income. With a focus on equity, hygiene, and inclusive system design, the sessions highlight the role of Non‑Sewered Sanitation (NSS), community‑led innovation, and policy frameworks that prioritise access and dignity. Delegates will hear from experts across engineering, public health, and development as they examine scalable solutions and cross‑sector strategies for delivering safe sanitation in diverse contexts.
