This approach promotes sustainable and integrated water management through long-term partnerships and leverages experiences and results from previous Partner for Water programmes. Discover our partnership with Indonesia and how you can participate below.

Partners for Water uses its network, knowledge and financing to work on water security challenges in partner countries. This is accomplished through applying the expertise in sustainable, integrated, inclusive and innovative water management from the Dutch- and local water sectors in early planning phases. The bilateral collaboration with Indonesia on water management has been formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) since 2007.

This MoU was renewed in 2022 with the aim of fostering a more strategic partnership. Our vision is to work together in an integrated, inclusive and sustainable manner, drawing on an equal partnership that involves stakeholders from the government, private sector, NGOs, young professionals and knowledge institutions. Within this framework, Partners for Water prioritises lowland development and irrigation, integrated water management, and capacity development, knowledge exchange and youth engagement.
