Your global partner for water resilience

According to the Asian Water Development Outlook (2016), up to 3.4 billion people could be living under water stress across the Asia Pacific region by 2050, suffering from a lack of clean drinking water, threatened by floods, at risk from poor sewerage or threatened by water pollution. It highlights a strong case for strengthening partnerships, inclusive approaches, using more knowledge-based solutions and applying the latest technologies.

At The Water Agency, we support international companies and organisations to put people at the heart of their water development projects in Asia. From our regional Water Hubs, our work focuses on stakeholder management, community engagement, inclusive development, youth leadership and water education. Because people-centred projects have more impact!

The company is currently active in Asia-Pacific with three branch offices (so-called Water Hubs), Myanmar, Indonesia, and Vietnam, international liaison offices in The Netherlands and Australia. Through these Water Hubs, the company identify and develop opportunities to address critical water and climate challenges in the region. Above anything else, we share the passion for water and the ambition to connect and inspire people towards a bright water future.

Our Vision

It is our vision for water to be a valued and shared force of life for all people in Asia Pacific.

To create an Asia Pacific Water Hub Network, bringing together the best people, ideas, and solutions from around the world.

OUR MISSION

We always go hand-in-hand with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the universal call of action to combat urgent environmental, political, and economic challenges. Our vision and mission support the SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. We have dedicated services to education, which supports the SDG 4: Quality Education and also SDG 5: Gender Equality, as we always give the same opportunity to both men and women. We try to engage the local community as part of the stakeholders to support SDG 10: Reduce Inequalities and encourage them to be more sustainable as a part of SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.

We focus on water management and sustainability, which are connected to SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production and SDG 13: Climate Action. Finally, SDG 17: Partnerships for The Goals is running in our blood as our company value is to bring together companies and organisations to solve water challenges.
