Description

GIZ’s Natural Resources Stewardship Programme (NatuReS) enables private-public-civil society partnerships to sustainably manage natural resources needed for improved livelihoods and continued economic development. As continuation of the International Water Stewardship Programme (2013-2018), NatuReS understands the complexity involved in working towards a resilient, natural resources secure future, where sustainable and inclusive economic growth and the protection of life sustaining natural resources are a central theme.

The objective of this session is to present selected cases, where the implementation of Water Stewardship contributes to resilient cities. It demonstrates how water stewardship at the city level can enhance economic development, empower communities and engage the private sector.
