Transformations to socially inclusive and ecologically sustainable practices are key to a bright future. The third phase of the Water and Development Partnership Programme focuses on stimulating and catalysing such transformations within the water sector. The programme supports organizations in non-European, low- and middle-income countries as they strengthen their capacity to manage water in sustainable and inclusive ways. The previous phases of the programme focused on tackling urgent water sector problems and helped establish networks and strengthen the capacities of the water and development sector in low- and middle-income countries. Phase 3 builds on earlier phases and adds a more critical, reflective and interdisciplinary lens to address water-related challenges through transformations that are inclusive, sustainable and climate resilient.
