Change water governance practice

SIWI’s strategic objectives are to:

• Leverage convening power to facilitate and influence water governance dialogues
• Influence priority-setting for improved water governance
• Contribute to policy development for improved water governance
• Contribute to the implementation of improved water policy and practices
• Advance water knowledge, and award and promote excellence in water science, policy and practice
• Be a resilient, financially sustainable organization and an attractive employer

We have identified the following key boundary partners as instrumental for influencing water wise decisions:

• Governments and public organizations
• Development agencies and organizations
• Non-Governmental Organizations/Civil Society Organizations
• Multilateral and regional organizations
• Private sector companies

In addition, we work very closely with academic institutions in generating and analysing knowledge, since water wise decisions requires evidence-based data, information and knowledge. We also target opinion leaders such as media, since public opinion strongly influences decision-making on water.
