Description:

Improved Water Governance Our goal is to contribute to integrated, transparent and participatory governance processes, as cornerstones to ensure the sustainable and equitable use of water resources and to expand the delivery of clean water supply and sanitation services to all. Read more Informed International Policy SIWI informs and engages in collective efforts to raise awareness on water’s key role for sustainable development and climate resilience. SIWI believes that through cooperation and partnership building, we can set fair, inclusive, and forward-looking strategies for climate adaptation and mitigation, and for a wise use of the world’s water resources. By remaining a neutral advisory body, SIWI is able to keep its focus on water issues and not be influenced by political affiliations. Read more Cross-cutting Issues Cross-cutting issues accelerate our efforts to achieve a water wise world and augment the chances of successful outcomes of all the work we do. They are transformative not only for water governance, but for society at large and its aspirations to eradicate poverty, and give our actions additional impact, engagement and sustainability. They are integral parts of our value system. Read more Cooperation Over Shared Waters Regional cooperation on transboundary waters is a public good that benefits all parties and can open new opportunities for riparian states to sustainably develop water resources. SIWI helps basin actors to engage in transboundary processes with a long-term perspective of promoting both security and development, and encourages a holistic approach that includes the perspectives of other affected sectors. By employing tools such as modelling, SIWI enables decision makers to gain understanding of risks, benefits and opportunities associated with different strategies.
