UN-Water is the United Nations' coordination mechanism for water and sanitation. Bringing together over 30 UN entities and 40 international partners, it ensures the UN system works as one to tackle water- and sanitation-related challenges and support countries in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6).

UN-Water drives action by informing policy, supporting monitoring and reporting, and building knowledge to inspire change. Guided by the UN System-wide Strategy for Water and Sanitation, its work connects water to climate, disaster risk reduction, financing, and sustainable development.
