Gender equality and social inclusion
The International Water Management Institute (IWMI) works to accelerate gender equality and social inclusion in water systems and water management. Our teams are dedicated to ensuring that women and men of all ages, specifically those in underrepresented and marginalized communities, have agency and are able to fully participate in water governance and agricultural resource management. Researchers perform gender analyses to gain better understanding of social and power relations across all groups and to promote successful and sustainable water solutions.
IWMI aims to break barriers in water and agriculture by addressing gender inequality at its root — ensuring equal access to resources, knowledge, and opportunities. IWMI’s research and programs:
- Empower women farmers through inclusive policies and financial access.
- Integrate youth and marginalized groups into water and agricultural decision-making.
- Drive innovation through gender-sensitive technologies and inclusive scaling approaches.
