Sanitation and Water for All (SWA) is a global alliance of over 300 national governments, donors, civil society organizations and other development partners working together to catalyze political leadership and action, improve accountability and use scarce resources more effectively. The ultimate goal of the partnership is to achieve universal access to water supply and sanitation. UNICEF hosts the Secretariat of SWA.

The communications of SWA are managed and coordinated by the communications team (CT), composed of one Communications Specialist, and a Digital Communications Manager. The CT also works with a wider network of suppliers, from designers to copywriters, from video producers to translators.
