As part of the project, the members of the network will work together to not only raise public awareness of the causes of water pollution and its impact on health and the economy, but also transforms into a sense of sharing responsibility for protecting rivers, streams, lakes, and coastal waters.

We hope people, businesses, scientists, and stakeholders will have the opportunity to join us in implementing community-based initiatives/models. The initiatives will then be discussed and implemented, with the results and lessons aggregated to support the development of local water conservation policies.

Through local activities in coordination and consultation with stakeholders, we will:

- Identify initiatives, and provide technical assistance (TA) to network members to develop detailed plans and specific expectations based on available resources.

- Collaborate and implement resource mobilization activities with local stakeholders and the private sector.
