Water stewardship is shaped not only by action on the ground, but also by the policies, standards and governance frameworks that guide those actions. At the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS), we believe that meaningful policy engagement is essential to advancing credible water stewardship globally.
AWS works with members and strategic partners to ensure that water stewardship is represented in key policy dialogues and governance processes. Our approach is collaborative, inclusive and grounded in real-world experience.
AWS Members contribute to global conversations on water stewardship through participation in high-profile events and initiatives. These include:
AWS Members are invited to contribute feedback on regional and global policy initiatives, standards and governance guidelines. AWS also collaborates on research and development efforts to advance credible water stewardship. Some examples of work AWS has contributed to include:
The public sector is the true backbone for any societal reforms and therefore forms an important part of AWS’s multi-stakeholder membership. AWS is proud to announce the launch of its new AWS water stewardship for public sector training course.
This training course is designed to equip public sector actors with the knowledge and practical tools to advance credible water stewardship in their catchment and jurisdiction.
Tailored to the specific geographical and governance context where the training will be delivered, the course will take public sector actors through a journey to identify opportunities for using water stewardship to unlock collective action to build more resilient catchments and jurisdictions.
