In response, the International Water Stewardship Programme (IWaSP) promotes corporate water stewardship and multi-stakeholder collective action for water security. To assess and manage water risks, IWaSP utilizes cutting edge approaches as well as tools for enabling partnerships. IWaSP is currently active in Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Zambia.
