The programme goal is the transformation of water use in land-based value chains to increase water resilience and environmental benefits for people, nature and climate. This will enable vulnerable people in 5-10 Lower Income Countries to access the quantity and quality of water needed to thrive, adapt to climate change and protect their environment.

The programme outcomes are:

a) Better governance of water supply, use and demand within value chains measured by the Water Stewardship standard as a Key Performance Indicator (KPI)

b) More integrated, accountable and climate resilient water management using Nature-based Solutions . The KPI is approved locally-led integrated catchment plans.

c) More public and private investment in water management directed to benefit vulnerable people and restore nature. The KPI is the funding of catchment plans.
