Action ScaleRegional
Themes & Indicators Ecosystem
  • Spatial extent (hectare or km2) of water related ecosystem is maintained or enhanced.
  • Quality of water and water related ecosystems is monitored, maintained, and improved
  • The water balance (water quantity ) of water related ecosystem, including groundwater dependent, is monitored and maintained.
  • Conservation, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and their services, in particular forests, wetlands, mountains and drylands, in line with obligations under international agreements is ensured
People
  • Proportion of population having access to sufficient, safely managed and affordable drinking water services is increased
  • Proportion of population having access to adequate and affordable a safely managed hand-washing facility with soap and water is increased
Economic and Development
  • Water supply for economic and development activities across all sectors is secure, reliable and sustainably used.
  • Water-use efficiency in economic and development activities is improved and sustainable withdrawal and supply of freshwater is ensured.
  • Wastewater from industrial activities or other economic and development activities is safely treated, recycling is increased and safely reused
  • Sustainable water practices by economic and development activities are promoted and implemented.
  • Pollution load management and circular economy is enhanced
Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergency Response
  • Investment in water related disaster security measures, such as nature-based solutions and infrastructure, to reduce damage and protect from the impacts of climate change is increased
Cross Cutting
  • Enabling environment such as water resources policy, law(s), plans, regulations, or similar, at the national and/or sub-national levels, are developed within GESI principles and implemented.
  • Institutional setting for water security is supported with clear role and sufficient capacity, and also able to effectively collaborate and coordinate.
  • A collaboration mechanism for public, community and multi-stakeholder participation in water resources development, management and decision making that addresses inequalities is established.
  • International cooperation through the disbursement and commitment to water security related sectors is increased.
  • Integrity and transparency practices across water policies, water institutions, and water governance frameworks are mainstreamed.

Description Explore costs, benefits and incentives for the inclusion and uptake of good water stewardship by agribusiness and governments, at a landscape level with special focus on the natural rubber industry.
Through a range of observations, data collections, field visit, round table discussions, simulations and cost analysis, the objective was to define mechanisms for embedding good water stewardship in existing commodity standards and jurisdictional and landscape approaches, which might serve to inform other regions, countries or sectors.
The broad project built a Community of Practice to generate interest, develop mechanisms and deepen the understanding of water stewardship as part of landscape approaches through webinars, online knowledge sharing and training.
PT PIPA scope of intervention was restricted to evaluating and determining the financial impact and the share benefits of such a strategy.
