Water underpins our societies, economies, and ecosystems. As pressures on water increase, so does the need for cooperation, knowledge, and long-term solutions.

SIWI brings together science, policy, and practice to help improve how water is governed around the world. Your support helps make this independent work possible.

What SIWI does

SIWI is an independent, non-profit organization based in Stockholm and working globally.

We connect science, policy, and practice to improve how water is governed. By bringing together decision-makers, researchers, practitioners, businesses, and communities, we help turn knowledge into action and support long-term solutions to complex water challenges.

Through research, advisory services, capacity development, and global platforms such as World Water Week, SIWI helps strengthen cooperation and advance sustainable water governance.

Why support matters

Water is increasingly shaping climate resilience, food systems, economic development, ecosystem health, and security.

Addressing these interconnected challenges requires more than technical solutions alone. It requires cooperation across sectors and regions, trusted knowledge, and institutions that can help connect ideas, people, and action.

As an independent organization, SIWI helps create the conditions for long-term cooperation and informed decision-making. Your support helps sustain this work.

Independence and collaboration

SIWI works with governments, international organizations, businesses, researchers, civil society organizations, and communities around the world.

While collaborating broadly, we maintain an independent, evidence-based, and public-interest approach. This independence allows us to bring together diverse perspectives, foster constructive dialogue, and support informed decision-making.
