+## Listening to stories
+
 Sitting together and listening to stories is a source of insight. At a young age, my parent's work on peace and reconciliation exposed me to thoughtful communicators from different places: Norwegian resistance fighter from WWII who survived against all odds and went on to work on reconciliation himself, Native American leaders and Indian leaders (from India) who processed together with Europeans and white Americans shared colonial legacies, musicians who faced incredible odds and sang about it, and Cambodian educators who survived and outlasted the Khmer Rouge. I also had the opportunity to travel and experience different cultures. Through libraries and books, I continued to travel to new places.

 As personal computers and then internet took off, my curiosity and computer programming led me to develop early information products like websites and hypercards from the mid to late 1990s. I was excited about the possibility to connect to even more of the world and to learn and share stories. Finally, my studies and work, especially from 2001 onwards, brought my passion for sharing knowledge and experiences to the water, sanitation and hygiene space. However, one thing still strikes me: listening to stories from people with different experiences is how I learn the most. They are a source of my inspiration and help me both frame and validate the information I get from diverse sources.

+## Telling and accessing stories about water, sanitation & hygiene
+
 We continue to tell stories with the purpose of improving knowledge in water, sanitation and hygiene. While we tell stories in our sector and produce reports, there is often a barrier between experts who communicate in conferences and users in communities: we use different language, talk in different forums, and have different interests. But by having more exchanges between experts and non-experts these barriers can be overcome. As a result, knowledge can be discovered when it is needed by whom it is needed. Listening, validation and respect are essential so that data and information are owned by those who produce it. With WASHWeb, we want participation in a space where this happens. Discussions already taking place can become more accessible.

+## Data for action: WASHWeb
+
 But back to my story: I am remain surprised when I receive a request to work on one more national database or to produce one more programme evaluation or one more national monitoring and evaluation manual. While this has been my bread and butter for a number of years now, I am convinced that focusing more on data for action is less about these artifacts (databases and manuals) and more about the action and vision that produces data and the people who use information. Working to address people going back to open defecation after having a latrine in a community gives the opportunity to identify and collect data that will make a difference, such as understanding the latrine types and quality of latrines households use. It gives us a sense of how these factors impact the ability of people to continue to use latrines. The information is not the source of improvement. The source of improvement is from the vision and will to address a challenge of open defection. Does it require targeted subsidies? Does it require a new sanitation product by a local innovator? How can that be developed? These questions are answered through collective action and collective information sharing. Data alone is not the answer.

+
+## Introducing WASHWeb
+
+WASHWeb stands as a universal initiative, drawing participation from across the globe, both high- and low-income countries. It is dedicated to fostering a global, cooperative network aimed at enhancing the usability, discoverability, and representivity of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) data. As an international community, we facilitate activities at both a global and local level, with partner organizations acting locally. The effect of a better data ecosystem will ultimately be felt in households, medical institutions, and schools from improved critical water and sanitation services and their associated health impacts in each country.
+
+## What does a future-proof WASH data ecosystem look like?
+
+The webinar was concluded by asking each speaker to offer a 1 sentence answer to our guiding question: what does a future-proof WASH data ecosystem look like? Find out how each organization answered this question:
+
+-   WASHAI (Olivier Mills): From the perspective of AI, this is a difficult question to answer because the future is extremely unknown due to the fast pace of development. It will be critical to balance the potential risks (in terms of overuse) with the variety of opportunities for discoverability and ethical use.
+
+-   Aquaya (Duncan Penfold-Brown): Aspirationally, we need to be fast, flexible, monitor closely, and ultimately engaging talent and expertise.
+
+-   USAID WSSH Data & Analytics (Emeline Bereziat and Katy Sill): We need to be more specific about the data we're taking about and the stakeholders we are targeting: whether this is government, service providers, or programme monitoring. Once these definitions are improved, we can foster more effective communication. In addition, we should be active, iterative, and adaptive.
+
+-   IRCWASH (Nicolas Dickinson and Jeske Verhoeven): A future-proof ecosystem is one that is both more open and diverse in terms of different communities (also those outside WASH) coming together and learning from one another. We also emphasize the importance of inspiring people to use data for decision-making.
+
+-   mWater (John Feighery): We would like to see a move away from top-down approaches and repositiories of dead data, towards live data that's putting tools in the hands of communities.
+
+-   openwashdata (Lars Schöbitz): We hope for more investment into education for data literacy and data management at an early stage.
+
+## Key Innovations in the WASH Data Ecosystem
+
+The following sections provide a deeper insight into each of the six presentations and the innovations that are being developed in this space.
+
+### Innovating on open data practices
+
+The webinar kicked off with a deep dive into the transformative power of open data in enhancing the WASH data ecosystem. [Lars Schöbitz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/larsschoebitz/) from openwashdata.org explained that openwashdata, which sits within the department of [Global Health Engineering](https://ghe.ethz.ch/) at ETH Zurich, is a community effort to bring open data practices to the WASH sector through the openwashdata academy, publishing workflows, and infrastructure development. He underscored the pivotal role of open science workflows in ensuring that data not only serves academic purposes but also empowers local communities and decision-makers. His presentation set the tone for a series of enlightening talks focused on leveraging technology to push the boundaries of what's possible in WASH management and research.
+
+### Advancing management information systems with mWater
+
+Following Lars, [John Feighery](https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnfeighery/) from [mWater](https://www.mwater.co/) showcased their advanced management information system, which includes features like pipe system mapping. He explained how their platform is designed to support frontline workers, enabling more efficient data collection and usage at the community level. This approach to data application demonstrated the immediate benefits of accessible and actionable information, resonating well with the webinar’s theme of practice-oriented innovation.
+
+### Using AI as a learning companion
+
+The dialogue then shifted towards the use of AI for educational purposes with [Jeske Verhoeven](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeske-verhoeven-77741262/) from [IRCWASH](https://www.ircwash.org/) and [Nicolas Dickinson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolasdickinson/) from [WASHNote](https://washnote.com/). [IRCWASH](https://www.ircwash.org/) hosts a WASH Systems Academy with over 8,000 registered users. The development of an AI-powered learning companion can support learners and provide relevant external knowledge when necssary. They discussed the synergy between organizational knowledge and technological tools, illustrating how structured data helps in making informed decisions that lead to sustainable WASH services.
+
+### Improving evidence-based decision-making with USAID WSSH Data & Analytics
+
+Katy Sill, alongside [Emeline Bereziat](https://www.linkedin.com/in/emeline-bereziat-603a7628/), shared their plans for the [USAID WSSH Data & Analytics](https://www.globalwaters.org/HowWeWork/Activities/water-security-sanitation-and-hygiene-data-analytics). This new initiative aims to strengthen the WSSH data landscape, support data-informed decision-making, monitor WSSH acceleration resulting from USAID's systems strengthening, and provide tailored, evidence-informed decision support. They discussed how the integration of comprehensive data analytics tools is set to transform data into actionable insights, enabling policymakers and practitioners to implement more effective WASH interventions. This effort underscores a commitment to not just collect data, but to ensure it is used to enhance service delivery across diverse communities.
+
+### Project W: Aquaya’s Innovative Research on WASH Data Usability
+
+[Duncan Penfold-Brown](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dpenfoldbrown/) from [Aquaya](https://aquaya.org/) provided an in-depth look at their new initiative: [Project W](https://aquaya.org/project-w/). With many curious audience members, Duncan explained that Project W will be a directory, plaform, and service that will host all WASH data for governments, funders, and implementers - those who rely on WASH data on a regular basis.
+
+### Leveraging AI for Data Discovery in WASH
+
+[Olivier Mills](https://www.linkedin.com/in/oliviermills/), the founder of [WASH AI](https://www.washai.org/), explored how artificial intelligence can be used for data discovery. He discussed how AI can simplify complex data for everyday use, and that better data access will nurture more informed decision-making. By employing advanced algorithms, [WASH AI](https://www.washai.org/) is able to identify patterns and predict trends that would otherwise be undetectable, offering a transformative tool for organizations looking to optimize their operational efficiency and impact in the WASH sector.
+
+## Q&A Highlights
+
+One of the most engaging segments of the webinar was the panel discussion, where experts tackled pressing questions from the audience, ranging from data security concerns to the challenges of integrating traditional data collection methods with modern technological tools. The discourse revealed a consensus on the need for more collaborative efforts to address the disparities in data availability and the adoption of new technologies in different regions.

@ -13,11 +13,3 @@ At the core of the vision, the idea is to make information discoverable, represe
 **Useful** information is information from which one can begin to take action. Often key information about who to contact for more information, what happened, when and where is missing. If there is information about water services or sanitation, these are often dated.

 In short, the WASHWeb community makes information and expertise more accessible so that it is no longer only experts who are able to make informed decisions based on available evidence. Until now, WASHWeb has been an idea and a project that a few people have been playing with. WASHWeb (including this website) is entirely open source and participatory, meaning it is open to the initiative and inputs from others. Currently, WASHNote hosts and maintains the project website and source code.
