Programme implemented through National Policy Dialogues

National Policy Dialogues are the main operational instrument to implement the FinWaterWEI programme.

The overall objectives of the National Policy Dialogues are to initiate country specific activities regarding Water Supply and Sanitation and Integrated Water Resources Management aimed at improving coverage and quality of water sector services. National Policy Dialogues involve high level representatives of all key partners in the country in question, including representatives of relevant international organisations and civil society (NGOs).
