Our Work
What We Do
Our Value Proposition:
We are a large, diverse, inclusive, and multi-stakeholder partnership dedicated to supporting communities and countries in improving water governance and management. In essence, we bring together all categories of water users to collaboratively identify challenges and develop sustainable, collective solutions to water-related issues.
The Pakistan Water Partnership (PWP) is actively engaged in delivering sustainable water solutions in water-stressed regions, including addressing recurring drought conditions in Tharparkar. PWP is committed to improving access to safe drinking water in remote villages through pilot and demonstration initiatives designed to be easily replicated by local communities, with technical and operational support from NGOs working in the region.
Under the Global Water Partnership’s Water and Climate Resilience Programme, PWP has successfully trained more than 240 farmers from six Area Water Partnerships (AWPs) in modern rainwater harvesting techniques and advanced irrigation technologies. These interventions aim to enhance agricultural productivity, strengthen climate resilience, and improve livelihoods at the community level
Who We Are
About Pakistan Water Partnership
The Pakistan Water Partnership (PWP), established in 1999, is a non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to promoting sustainable and integrated water resources management in Pakistan. PWP acts as a neutral platform that brings together local communities, government institutions, civil society, academia, and international organizations to support informed water policy and practice.
PWP works to strengthen water governance through dialogue, knowledge sharing, capacity development, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. Our approach is grounded in the principles of transparency, inclusiveness, and accountability, ensuring that diverse voices are represented in decision-making processes.
By fostering partnerships at national and sub-national levels, PWP contributes to sustainable solutions that recognize water as a shared and finite resource essential for socio-economic development, environmental protection, and climate resilience for both people and nature.
