Coalition's Game-Changers
Including gender-equality principles in funding, which promote women's leadership, protect their water rights and no longer rely on unpaid work of women and girls for securing and managing water

Fostering women’s leadership for meaningful participation through education and capacity development
Countering social norms and stereotypes that may have negative effects on water access, use and inclusive decision-making
Implementing the collection, analysis and use of sex-disaggregated water data to inform water policies through the application of appropriate gender-responsive indicators
The Coalition Members actively disseminate the Initiative’s findings and progress by participating in key international and regional events.
Roadmap of the Multi-stakeholder Coalition ́s initiative
