The Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP) is an independent, non-governmental foundation, established in 1999. It is a strong network of Dutch water organisations, working worldwide on co-creating future-proof solutions and catalysing global water impact. NWP works along cross-cutting themes that make it possible to look at different challenges with an integrated approach. Themes include: climate resilience, finance for water, water & agrifood, water technology, water & crisis.  NWP implements programs that promote cross-sector collaboration and innovation, by building coalitions around themes or regions, increasing the international visibility of the Dutch water sector, and joining forces to contribute to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We do this by organising trade missions, learning weeks, study tours, Netherlands Pavilions at international events, matchmaking, and promoting the Dutch water sector via the international NWP media outlets.  The Netherlands Water Partnership and its network of over 180 members connects individuals in the water sector and beyond! We aim for Water. Driven. Future.
