World Water Week 2019
August 25 – 30
Water for society: Including all
Innovative Water Solutions for Sustainable Development
On August 25 2019, Claudia Sadoff, Director General of IWMI, along with Mark Smith, Deputy Director General, announced IWMI’s new Strategy for 2019-2023 focusing on Food, Climate and Growth.
A campaign for more inclusive water governance.
Taking you on a journey through major river basins across Africa and Asia, where social and environmental injustices are hindering our ability to move forward together. Along the way, we’ll hear from the people who are most affected — in their own photographs and words.
