We work to influence decision-makers through our power to convene, our expertise in water governance, building dialogue, improving policies to 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.
