Private Sector Engagement in the Water Security Improvement Process

Improving the sustainability of a watershed requires active engagement with all major water users — particularly private sector actors, which can be large, impactful and politically influential water users. However, engaging the private sector in broader water security efforts requires understanding their motivations and drivers, including their water risks and business opportunities. The Sustainable Water Partnership developed this guidance for engaging the private sector in a Water Security Improvement process, including pathways and activities for different types of private sector actors.
