Building on the momentum and outcomes of the UN 2023 Water Conference and other water-related platforms, the Private Sector Forum aims to be a catalyst for creating business opportunities and markets that directly lead to progress on Sustainable Development Goal 6 in Central Asia.
Government and business leaders will discuss the potential pipelines of private sector and public-private partnership projects that could emerge and succeed in Central Asia. The focus will be on the specific arrangements and agreements that will accelerate deal flow and private capital investment.
Equally, there will be a spotlight on the appropriate levels of monitoring, transparency, and accountability to ensure an adequate balance between economic growth and social and environmental protection. This will be an outcome-focused discussion with practical, implementable, and scalable solutions for all regions.
Progress on existing commitments, including those made under the Water Action Agenda, will be presented to demonstrate how businesses and public-private partnerships bring innovation and technology to water and wastewater management, at all scales and in all contexts.
Ultimately, the Forum aims to unleash the untapped potential of the water sector, with a focus on Central Asia, in ensuring sustainable management and equitable access to water resources for all.
