BPWI (Business and Professional Women International) is one of the founding members of the "Women for Water, Water for Women" partnership. At its XXIVth Congress in 2002, the BPW took the decision to set up a special International Taskforce on "Women for Water". (Resolutions)

The motto of the Taskforce is “bridging the gap: join forces globally, act locally”. 

 

 

The main tasks of the Taskforce are:
· be the “voice” of (BPW)women on the (inter)national stage on the subject of IWRM
·  actively involve as many women as possible by having local and regional “footholds” - Every woman’s input is important and worthwhile - and by doing so contribute to reaching the goals of Agenda21 and the Millennium Development Goals
. Start and/ or stimulate Projects involving women in Integrated Water Resource Management on all levels – where possible together with other women’s organizations.
