It has been held annually since then. Each year, UN-Water \u2014\u00a0the entity that coordinates the UN\u2019s work on water and sanitation \u2014\u00a0sets a theme for World Water Day corresponding to a current or future challenge. The engagement campaign is coordinated by one or several of the UN-Water Members with a related mandate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<h3 class=\"csc-textpic-imagewrap csc-textpic-single-image\">Better water, better jobs<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row better clearfix\">\n<section>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Today, almost half of the world\u2019s workers \u2013 1.5 billion people \u2013 work in water related sectors and nearly all jobs depend on water and those that ensure its safe delivery. Yet the millions of people who work in water are often not recognized or protected by basic labour rights. The theme in 2016 \u2013 water and jobs -show how enough quantity and quality of water can change workers\u2019 lives and livelihoods \u2013 and even transform societies and economies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-center\">\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5389&#8243; img_size=&#8221;Large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Why a World\u00a0Water\u00a0Day?
