Global Water Leadership - Outcomes Brief & Video

A groundbreaking initiative that is global in scope, the GWL Programme aims to bringing the WASH and IWRM sectors closer together and addressing climate resilience.

As an implementing partner for the GWL Programme from April 2021 to March 2024, GWP provided critical support to governments in seven low and middle-income countries to support them in becoming international models for water leadership. The flagship products of the GWL Programme were government-validated Response Strategies for addressing the most critical barriers to climate-resilient IWRM. Multi-stakeholder working groups were formed, tasked with developing a Response Strategy containing two components: an Action Plan and a Finance Plan. Building stakeholder capacity in identifying financing options was a key output.
