Pakistan Water Partnership
Established in February 1999, the Pakistan Water Partnership (PWP) is a non-profit, non-governmental and multi-stakeholder organization working to promote sustainable and integrated water resources management in Pakistan. As the Country Water Partnership of the Global Water Partnership, PWP provides a neutral platform that brings together government institutions, local communities, civil society, academia, development partners and other stakeholders to address the country’s growing water challenges.
For more than two decades, PWP has worked to advance Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) through policy dialogue, stakeholder engagement, knowledge sharing, capacity development and community-based action. Its work addresses key water and environmental challenges, including water scarcity, climate change, drought resilience, water quality, sustainable agriculture, WASH and ecosystem protection. Through its network of Area Water Partnerships and partnerships with national and international organizations, PWP supports locally relevant solutions while connecting community-level experiences with national policy and development processes.
PWP is committed to a water-secure Pakistan where water resources are managed equitably, sustainably and responsibly for people, communities and ecosystems. We believe that lasting solutions to Pakistan’s water challenges require collaboration, informed decision-making, inclusive participation and collective action across all levels.
