GIWEH was established in March 2007 under the initiative of European and Middle Eastern scientists and in response to a recognized need for a new broad-based focus in the inter-disciplinary subject of hydrology, environment and health.

GIWEH is a Swiss-based not-for-profit technical, research and training organization. As a think tank, GIWEH organizes from five to seven workshops, trainings and conducts different programs each year, participates in numerous international conferences and events. In its activities, GIWEH focuses on connection between water and environment, issues of cooperation on different levels and technology transfer for promotion of an improved ecosystem with benefits for health and environment.

In the past years GIWEH organized a training program for officials from the Great Lakes region in cooperation with Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (Bujumbu-ra, Burundi); trainings within the framework of Capacity Building for International Relations project in cooperation with Geneva Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (Yerevan, Armenia; Tbilisi, Georgia); lectures for Global Health & Development Policy Program in cooperation with School for International Training (Geneva, Switzerland), etc.

Each year from 10 to 15 young specialists with diverse backgrounds from all over the world participate in the GIWEH Internship Program. In 2014 GIWEH launches a hands on training program that gives participants practical experience and teaches them new concepts of water and environmental governance, as well as its institutional and legal frameworks.

Along with participation in numerous international events and conferences, the GIWEH organizes a series of successful International Conferences on Water Resources and Environmental Management (ICWRE):

• ICWRE-2011(Marrakesh,Morocco;20-24November2011)

• ICWRE-2013(Geneva,Switzerland;09-11April2013)

• ICWRE-2014(willbeheldinAntalya,Turkey;13-15May2014)

Every year GIWEH grants a Water Award during its side-event attheWorldWaterDayattheUnitedNationsOfficeinGeneva, Switzerland.In2009and2010theawardwenttoSouthKorea,andtoFrance and Switzerland respectively, in 2011 they went to Princess Dr. Mashael Bint Muhammad Bin Saud Bin Abdurrahman AlSaud,aresearcherattheSpaceInstituteofKingAbdulAziz City for Science and Technology (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), and to two youngresearchesandyouthleadersMs.YanaNazarova (RussianFederation)andMs.EmelZerrouk(UnitedKingdom).

About usHELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation works in33countriesaroundtheglobeand has more than 40 years experience in drinking water supply, sanitation & hygiene, and water for food. We rigorously evaluate our programmes so that we can build on what works. We collaborate with research institutes such as Eawag and private companies like Geberit to test innovative concepts and technologies. We aim to scale up promising approaches by actively engaging in the policy dialogue.

strengthening people’s voices For better MAnAgeMent oF wAter resources where? RemoteruralcommunitiesinWesternNepal whAt? In 2001, HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation developed the Water Use Master Plan (WUMP) approach, a planning process that applies an Integrated Water Resources Management approach to help local actors manage water and its uses. why? To help prevent disputes over water resources by helping communities achieve effective, equitable and efficient use of water. how? The WUMP process emphasises the inclusion and responsibility of all stakeholders in the planning, negotiation and decision making process, the key for good local governance. These stakeholders, with support from HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation, engage in three phases:1. Pre-planning: Social mobilisation and formation of inclusive

water resources management committees2. Planning: Capacity building of water resources management

committees. Social and technical assessment of the water resources management situation. Prioritisation of water projects through consensus building.

3.Post-planning:Developmentofwatersystemsinwaysthat ensure local ownership. Elaboration of short and long term plans for operation and maintenance.

Since 2001, we have supported the development of WUMPs in 82 Village DevelopmentCommittees.Basedontheseplans,300watersupplyand sanitation systems have been developed, serving more than 100,000 people. iMpActs: Strong ownership resulting from the highly participative WUMP positively influences sustainable water services.

what? Develop and test a participatory and integrated methodology for water treatment(combinationofSODISandinsituchlorinationwithWATAdevices)and improved hygiene education in 110 schools. With their enormous potential to raise awareness and influence the future generation, they play an important role in bringing about behavioral changes and promoting better health. The strategy is based on 4 pillars: education, infrastructure, application and knowledge transfer from the school to the community.

Sandec is the Department of Water and Sanitation in Developing Countries at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Sciences and Technology (Eawag), one of the world’s leading institutions in the field of water and wastewater research. Research at Sandec makes use of Eawag’s expertise in engineering, natural science and the social sciences, and is based on social needs. This provides the basis for developing innovative concepts and technologies in the field of water management and sanitation. Projects are conducted in close collaboration with international and local organisations through research partnership agreements. Sandec is committed to:

• Generatingknowledgethroughresearch.

• Developingandfacilitatingtheimplementationofnewconcepts and technologies in water supply; environmental sanitation; and excreta, wastewater and solid waste management.

• Increasingresearchcapacityandprofessionalexpertiseon water supply and environmental sanitation in low and middle income countries.

• Advocatingtomakewatersupply,environmental sanitation and solid waste a priority in low and middle income countries.

An example of a Sandec project is the SPLASH funded research project Faecal Management Enterprises (FaME). It aims to prove that faecal sludge can generate revenue, and to change the perception and management of faecal sludge from being a disposal problem to a business opportunity.

FaME is working in the capital cities of Senegal, Ghana and Uganda where it has identified widely untapped markets for faecal sludge end-products. Urban centres have a high concentration of industries with large energy needs. And dried faecal sludge as a biofuel for combustion, can offer a good energy solution while being a financial driver for safe faecal sludge service chains.

Samples collected from different on-site sanitation and faecal sludge treatment systems indicated the energy potential of faecal sludge. Cost-effective dewatering and drying methods are key factors for the technical and economic viability of using it as a fuel.

To collect data for full-scale application, pilot kilns will be constructed in collaboration with local research partners and industries in Senegal and Uganda. Results from FaME could offer a profitable alternative for the management of faecal sludge in urban environments worldwide.

Water needs to be managed in the interest of current and future generations. International and national laws and policies, as well as practices must reflect this. To achieve this principle, WaterLex promotes and facilitates the implementation of sustainable legal and policy frameworks, which comply with international human rights law.

WaterLex is a laboratory for water-related international, public and private norms and standards, as well as a trainer and developer of efficient tools to integrate accountability to populations into daily operations of water governance stakeholders.

To perform its activities, WaterLexworks with a pool of over 100 international experts in water management, development, law and more specifically human rights law. This pool is coordinatedbyanInternationalSecretariat–7staff,basedinGeneva,Switzerland.
