33. Mandated to support the implementation of the Decade through advocacy and communications, the Programme on Advocacy and Communication, managed by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat and based in Zaragoza, Spain, carried out a series of activities focused on raising awareness on the Decade and water in general. The Programme achieved this through a variety of means, most notably through its annual International Zaragoza Conference, which helped UN-Water and its members and partners prepare for the World Water Day of the upcoming year. The Programme also coordinated the “Water for Life” UN-Water Best Practices Award process, directly linked to the Decade, through which best practices helping to fulfil international commitments made on water and water-related issues are highlighted. The Programme led two other important activities: management of the Decade website, 17 through which progress on the Decade could be tracked, and management of the United Nations Documentation Centre on Water and Sanitation, 18 which is the source of a compilation of materials related to water derived from the United Nations system.
