ADB Water Week 2004
Water for the Poor: Setting the Rules and Finding the Money
ADB Headquarters, Manila, Philippines
26-30 January 2004
Is there conspiracy against the poor? Why is it that after concerted efforts spanning decades, the poor still does not have access to safe drinking water? Have conventional mindsets or vested interests stymied progress in this direction?
The ADB has organized its 2nd Water Week to stimulate knowledge development in the water sector, particularly on the issue of water for the poor. The theme for the 2004 ADB Water Week is "Water for the Poor: Setting the Rules and Finding the Money."
