For the last 50 years, Twynstra has been one of the Netherlands’ leading organisations in the field of Water Governance. We empower the national and global water sector by providing the right tools for institutional development, capacity building, collaboration between organisations and stakeholder engagement.
Water Governance entails a proactive approach in which technical measures are embedded in a social and political context. Our extensive experience shows that successful water management relies on shared responsibilities, cooperation between actors involved, integrative solutions and the need for broad support among stakeholders to make technical measures’ implementation possible and effective on the long term. Our approach towards Water Governance is strongly based on the experience that projects have to be embedded in a social context in order to be successful.
In addition, we believe collaboration between government, society and engineers is a requirement for sustainable water governance. We aim to develop and empower the water sector around the world by providing the right tools for institutional development, collaboration between (governmental) organisations and strategic stakeholder participation. Our Water Governance approach has proven to be successful all over the world.
