6 March 2008

A golden opportunity has arisen to tell the UK Government face to face what you think about the international water and sanitation crisis.

The Department for International Development (DFID), the UK Government Department that works to alleviate global poverty, is working on a new White Paper that will shape future government policy on international development.

Consultation starts today and the final document will be published in July 2009. As the Government develops their new policy they want to hear your views. This is a fantastic opportunity for all WaterAid supporters to engage in discussions about the future with DFID Ministers. There are 12 events happening around the country so sign up today to get involved.

For more information please download the DFID consultation flyer ( PDF 123KB) or go to www.coievents.co.uk/dfidwhitepaperconsultation (opens in a new window).

Please let us know at if you're planning to attend as we'll be there too! We can work together on getting the government to hear our views. Contact us via email at campaigns@wateraid.org.
