Gender & Water
Alliance - GWA - Strategy 2006-2010
The goal of GWA is to achieve effective gender mainstreaming in the design and implementation of IWRM policies resulting in measurable positive impact on the lives of poor women and men. To contribute to this the purpose of the programme in the years 2006-2010 is to significantly strengthen the gender-related understanding and practice of water sector professionals and decision-makers at national and local levels in targeted regions and countries.
The activities of GWA will therefor focus on five outputs:
- Managing, strengthening and ensuring the effective
operation of GWA’s network of members worldwide
- Collecting, recording and sharing with GWA members and
other key stakeholders knowledge and information on gender mainstreaming
policies, practice and experience
- Significantly increasing the capacity of targeted
groups to mainstream gender in IWRM
- Facilitating significant progress in the incorporation
of gender issues in the development and implementation of national
water-related policies in targeted countries
- Seeking to maintain and strengthen the profile of
gender equality issues at international water-related conferences and
events and in international policy
