HRH the Prince of Orange, Chair of UNSGAB
HRH the Prince of Orange has been playing prominent role in raising awareness and galvanizing actions in international efforts to improve global water and sanitation situation, since he took the post of Patron of Global Water Partnership in 1998. He chaired 2nd World Water Forum in the Hague in March 2000, a pivotal event that helped world’s attention drawn to the need to change “business as usual” on water and sanitation management into more coherent, integrated approach. In 2002, he was appointed as Member of the Panel of Eminent Persons convened at the request of the Secretary-General of the United Nations to issue recommendations for the UN conference on sustainable development in Johannesburg. The Prince served on the Panel as an expert on water management. In 2006 the Prince was appointed by the Secretary-General as chair of the UN Secretary-General’s Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation (UNSGAB). Since then he has advocated for higher political priority to be given to water and sanitation challenges. He has recently promoted the need for water and sanitation to be reflected in the preparation of the post-2015 development framework.
