• Inclusivity: We advocate for policies that ensure equitable access to clean and safe water for all, regardless of geographical location, economic status, or social background.
• Environmental Stewardship: We advocate for policies that protect and restore aquatic ecosystems, promoting the long-term health of our planet’s water resources.

We actively engage with government bodies, and International organisations to advocate for evidence based policies and regulations that promote responsible water use and resource protection. Our research finding and policy recommendations are influential in shaping water management practices. At IIW’s Policy Advocacy Council, we believe that effective water policies are the cornerstone of a sustainable and prosperous future for all. Through rigorous research, collaboration, and advocacy, we strive to ensure that water resources are managed wisely and equitably to benefit current and future generations.
