Facilitating south-south sharing on water governance

The UNDP Water Governance Facility facilitates south-south sharing on governance aspects of water management. Based at the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), the facility promotes improved water governance reform and implementation, working in areas that range from integrated water resources management, transboundary water and water supply and sanitation to climate variability, gender and capacity building.

The Facility benefits water governance work of government agencies, civil society organisations and other stakeholders in developing countries. It facilitates South-South collaboration and promotes exchange of experiences and best practices, through for example multi-stakeholder dialogues, and takes an integrated approach to water resources management through improved governance solutions.

The UNDP Water Governance Facility at SIWI is funded by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Swedish Agency for International Development Cooperation (Sida).
