One of SWA's key functions is to bring together the global decisionmakers in the industry every two years at a High Level Meeting - including governments, donors, development banks, non-profits, and civil society. At these meetings, developing countries and donors are encouraged to make specific, measurable commitments to improve the state of water and sanitation. We quickly saw the website as an opportunity to publish this data in an accessible, dynamic format - to bring public accountability to the commitments, and transparency to the progress that has been made toward their promises made at the last meeting in 2012. 

We made the Commitments data the centerpiece of the site - offering dynamic, searchable, and customizable insight into progress around the world, and prompting renewed interest in the promises. With the 2014 High Level Meeting only a month away, SWA partners around the world are using the SWA site as a tool to research the commitments and progress of their peers as they prepare a new round of commitments (which will of course be featured on the site).
