Perspectives
For RWSN member organisations, this is a unique opportunity to position yourselves at the intersection of SDG 6 (Water) and SDG 7 (Energy), engaging with an audience that is increasingly seeking integrated water-energy solutions.
This is a strategic shift—from chasing shrinking WASH budgets to shaping how growing energy investment can deliver safe, affordable electricity and water. EAIF 2026 is where WASH leaders and energy investors meet – your seat at that table is too important to miss.
