Women for Water Partnership

Lead organisation: UNESCO (Governmental)

Women for Water Partnership (WfWP) has consistently raised the profile of women in the water and development sector, both in their professional capacity and as major group in society.

Policy uptake explanation

WfWP has significantly contributed to improving access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH), through the water projects implemented by its members. Despite limited funds, WfWP’s work has resulted in impressive outcomes. Projects have led to sustainable solutions for WaSH delivery, irrigation, water management, empowered women and communities, and, stimulated local economic development, generating additional income streams for women and their communities. Many women have gained positions in decision-making processes, from local water bodies to international fora.
