Women for Water Partnership
With Women Better Results in Water Management

This study, done by the Women for Water Partnership, looked into the relationship between women’s involvement in decision-making and results. The Women in Water Diplomacy Network in the Nile is included in the study to showcase how women leaders cooperate in conflict sensitive areas.

Measurement of the impact of higher numbers of women is somewhat uncharted territory in the water sector. However, in some corners of the private sector, it is common to measure the impact of women in decision-making positions and results show this leads not only to better company performance, but also has positive effects on the surroundings of a company. In a quest to find information about the relationship between women’s involvement in decisionmaking and results, Women for Water Partnership (WfWP) undertook a study.
