GWP’s Strategy 2020-2025 emphasizes the urgent need for coordinated action to advance governance and management of water resources for sustainable and equitable development. As an action network bridging the global to the local and the local to the global, GWP seeks to lead systems changes at all levels, as they pertain to providing water solutions, effective policy and financial planning for water, and catalysing climate-resilient development.

It leverages GWP’s role and function on the global, regional, and national levels to bring forth a joint vision and a spectrum of impacts together with the GWL programme partners.

Providing grassroot perceptions of water insecurity in selected countries through a survey, complete with ground truthing of relevant data
Providing baseline and updated information to demonstrate the status and evolution of water and climate resilience in policies and plans in the selected countries through the establishment of a scorecard approach,
Supporting inclusive and participatory government-led multi-stakeholder change processes to identify bottlenecks in water resource management
Catalysing political uptake and implementation of the strategies and mobilising strong global voices for water and sanitation in international platforms.

GWP seeks a Programme Specialist to be the focal point for the overall implementation of the GWL programme, and provide backstopping to GWP Regional Water Partnerships and Country Water Partnerships
