UNESCO-IHE/Women for Water Partnership

  30/12/2009
UNESCO-IHE and the Women for Water Partnership (WfWP) have agreed to jointly enhance women\'s participation in achieving sustainable livelihoods. With the launch of this strategic partnership, UNESCO-IHE and the WfWP will work on UNESCO-IHE’s Waters & Society Programme, on the World Water Development Report of the United Nations and on the follow-up of the outcomes of World Water Forum 5.



WfWP and UNESCO-IHE were co-convenors of Topic 6.1 ‘Education and Capacity Development Strategies’ at the World Water Forum, at which their creative approach in highlighting the issues drew many accolades. The strategic partnership is intended to broaden the joint efforts towards inclusion of gender issues and women’s empowerment in the water and sanitation sectors.

Besides this UNESCO-IHE grants WfWP participation in technical and high level events; a future scholarship and internship programme. This also will be aimed at enhancing women’s participation and practice on the ground components in the education programs of UNESCO-IHE and its academic partners will be developed. The new partners will disseminate each others material at events and will fundraise together.
