The Women for Water Partnership (WfWP) comprises 25 women’s networks in approximately 100 countries across the developing world, reaching over one million women. WfWP aims to position women as active leaders, experts, partners, and change agents to realize access to safe water for all.
Members of the partnership engage in advocacy and policy on issues of water resources; work to strengthen the role of women in water networks and water users associations; and give support to field projects contributing to equitable access to safe water and sustainable development.
