VWI is contributing to better decisions impacting water by recognising and empowering women and girls in decision-making processes impacting water, as enshrined in the five Valuing Water Principles.
Aim
VWI aims to explore how gender values shape outcomes of decision-making impacting water. We strive towards actions for a gender inclusive participation to bring systemic change in the way water is valued, understood and managed, as was recommended by the United Nations Secretary-General and the World Bank Group President.
Expected outcomes
• Recognising and strengthening water values associated to gender in decision making processes.
• Supporting already existing initiatives and new ones that take action towards gender inclusive participation that leads to systemic change in water decision-making.
