Themes

SDC advocates for sustainable WASH services based on the human rights to water and sanitation, and promotes policy dialogue, fair governance, and innovative partnerships to ensure vulnerable people are not left behind.

The Blue Peace Initiative (BPI) enhances water cooperation across borders, sectors and generations, fostering peaceful, cohesive, and sustainable societies. RésEAU supports regional water networks where BPI is active.

The spatial and temporal distribution of freshwater becomes increasingly uneven and the relationship between water and economy becomes more complex. The RésEAU therefore supports the exploration of water-efficient solutions.

SDC supports the Water Stewardship approach - which aims at making sure that the use of water is socially and culturally equitable, environmentally sustainable and economically beneficial.

A water secure future depends on the sustainable utilization and fair sharing of this vital resource. For this to happen RésEAU supports and promotes a truly integrated approach for managing water.

Youth are agents of change and societal transformation. They constitute a majority in many contexts of the Global South and are both part of the challenge and the solution. RésEAU wants to empower youth.

The RésEAU operates towards an attitude that intentionally incorporates gender aspects in approaches, tools, projects and programs related to water to reduce wide spread inequalities
