WORLD WATER DAY 22 March 2005-“WATER FOR LIFE�

The theme for this year’s World Water Day challenges us to look at “Water for life�. The United Nations General Assembly at its 58th session in December 2003 proclaimed the years 2005-2015 as the international “Water for Life Decade�. The decade sets the world’s goals on a “greater focus on water related issues, striving to ensure the participation of women in water related development efforts and further cooperation at all levels to achieve water-related targets of the Millennium Development Goals�.

Similar to the last 3 World Water Day campaigns in the Pacific, SOPAC will collaborate with Live and Learn, a regional non-governmental organisation in environmental education, to develop this year’s campaign and to provide country representatives, focal points, schools and
other interested parties with information packs and materials.

The following activities are envisaged under the theme “Water for Life�:

· Provide outlines for topical speeches for press releases or presentations;
· Develop publication material including a calendar, fact sheets, stickers, book marks;
· Organise TV and radio campaigns; and
· Organise a Youth Forum.
