Providing an insiders' perspective and drawing on the experience of the evolving mandate of the first Special Rapporteur on the human rights to water and sanitation from 2008 to 2014, the chapter addresses three issues that are deeply interwoven and influence each other: firstly, the decision to pursue a very active agenda for the mandate, encompassing advocacy directed towards the explicit recognition of the rights to water and sanitation and work focussed on the implementation of the rights in practice; secondly, the role of the Special Procedures and the delicate balance to be struck between preserving their independence and their necessary cooperation with other actors, including States, un organisations and civil society; and, thirdly, the need for external funding for Special Procedures who pursue an agenda as active as that of the water and sanitation mandate - and the challenge such fundraising imposes in terms of Special Procedures' independence.
