Finding solutions for future water security depends on collective action through partnership.

Thrilled to launch a new MoU between IWMI and the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council to pursue this goal through partnership in Bangladesh. 🇧🇩

Let’s be clear: we need smart solutions to tackle the water security crisis.

Especially in East Africa, facing its 6th year of drought, or MENA, where it’s time to turn scarcity into opportunity using solutions like wastewater reuse

Without women’s equality, you can’t have water security. Just. Not. Possible.

IWMI ‘s new strategy 2024-2030 is going to show how we will take this on: coming very very soon!

And on I celebrate how IWMI’s women show us every day how real change is possible 💪
