Mission/Mandate

GWA’s membership represents more than 500 organizations and individuals from around the world. The programme areas of the Alliance are organised around the following sectors: Information sharing, experience sharing, advocacy, training and capacity building, pilot initiatives.

The mission of GWA is to promote women's and men's equitable access to and management of safe and adequate water, for domestic supply, sanitation, food security and environmental sustainability. The provision of sustainable water and sanitation services that incorporate an integrated water resources management approach requires a special emphasis and focus on gender, social justice and human rights. GWA believes that equitable access to and control over water is a basic right for all, as well as a critical factor in promoting poverty eradication and sustainability. GWA Website
