WSSCC attempts to help sector professionals to share their concerns, knowledge and experience with one another. Members are composed of different groups (government, NGOs, community based organisations, academics, and international organisations) and a range of countries. WSSCC claims that it unifies those all different groups based on a professional interest and personal concern in helping the unserved urban and rural poor.
Vision 21: A Shared Vision for Hygiene, Sanitation and Water Supply and Water for People
WSSCC initiated 'Vision 21' in 1997 aimed at collaborative action by empowered people in households, communities and authorities to end the global water crisis. It targets achieving a world by 2025 where everybody knows the importance of hygiene, and enjoys safe and adequate water and sanitation. The WSSCC promotes to put people's initiative and capacity for self-reliance at the centre of planning and action via Vision 21. The Vision 21 was the "Water for People" component in the World Water Vision, compiled by the World Water Council for presentation to the Second World Water Forum at The Hague in March 2000.
The WSSCC is campaigning for an International Development Target on Sanitation.
