International Water Stewardship Programme (IWaSP)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Natural Resources Risk & Action Framework was developed by the International Water Stewardship Programme (IWaSP). Working alongside public bodies, enterprises and civil society, IWaSP identifies measures aimed at reducing shared water risks. The programme initiates and sets up partnerships between the three different types of stakeholders, and coordinates these with the support of GIZ bilateral and regional water programmes.<\/p>\n

Currently IWaSP is active in nine countries: Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Ethiopia and South Africa on the African continent and Grenada and Saint Lucia in the Caribbean and Pakistan in Asia.<\/p>\n

The Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)<\/a> GmbH works to develop lasting solutions for sustainable development and manages IWaSP on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)<\/a> and the UK Department for International Development (DfID)<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”25″][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”3870″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” link=”http:\/\/www.collectiveleadership.de\/”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]\n

What is the Natural Resources Risk & Action Framework?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Cross-sector \u201cwater stewardship\u201d approaches are emerging around the world seeking to address shared water risks through collective action in response to increasing demand and threats to water supply and quality. Water stewardship is based on the premise that all water users play a role in the sustainable use and management of water resources, as business, government, or civil society cannot effectively address complex and shared water risks alone. To help address these challenges, the International Water Stewardship Programme (IWaSP) has developed the Natural Resources Risk and Action Framework (NRAF).<\/p>\n

The NRAF was first developed by IWaSP in 2013 and has since been updated with international best practices and lessons learnt from projects implemented at the community level.\u00a0 It guides practitioners in forming and executing water stewardship partnerships. The proven five-phase process increases the quality of partnerships that deliver accelerated and sustainable results to achieve water security for businesses, communities, and government.<\/p>\n\n
