The first meeting of a public-private partnership initiated by First Water to promote point-of-use treatment and improved storage was hosted by the WHO in Geneva at the end of February. The outcome of the meeting was the establishment of an INTERNATIONAL NETWORK TO PROMOTE SAFE HOUSEHOLD WATER TREATMENT AND STORAGE. You can read the concluding statement here. The establishment of the network was announced formally at the Third World Water Forum in Kyoto, Japan in March 2003. Further meetings of the network are planned for later in the year.
