• Get involved and contribute!

    Do you have a solution that will encourage positive change? Do you want to be involved in making a difference? Do you want to commit to a particular target or solution?

    How to contribute?

    In order to enable a widespread involvement and to trigger concrete contributions for water, the “Platform of Solutions” is open to all stakeholders and public at large. This interactive tool enables everyone to propose and access feasible solutions. It also helps foster and secure the necessary commitments for their implementation and upscaling throughout the world.

    We will publish your solution online in due time and may contact you for more details further down the line. All solutions will be collected and might be published eventually.

    What is a Solution?

    Existing or innovative solutions can be legal (a law, a decree, a treaty…), technical (an appropriate device, a plant, a tool, a software…), institutional (governance structures, plans, policies…), financial (levy, transfers, tariffs…) or communication-related (advocacy campaigns, videos, leaflets…).
    Above all, your solution must contribute to tackling a key water-related issue and help reach the World Water Forum targets in any regions in the world.

    7 criteria will help define the most promising solutions:

    • Strategic fit with a Forum target: the solution addresses a specific need or a problem in a way that helps reach the target
    • Ground-tested: the solution has already been successfully implemented and shared on the ground
    • Cost-effectiveness: the solution yields significant impacts (outputs, outcomes) given the level of investments required (not only financial) and/or when compared to other possible solutions that could be applied to achieve the same target
    • Demonstrated impact: the solution’s positive impact has been demonstrated and success factors have been identified
    • Replicability: the solution has potential for scaling up or replication in other contexts
    • Commitment: the solution has convinced a range of stakeholders to commit to implement it in the future
    • Sustainability: the solution can continue to deliver tangible positive social, economic and environmental impacts on the long run
