Providing spaces for meaningful engagement between civil society and governments can help to generate political will.
FAN actively identifies opportunities for members to access policy makers at the national, regional and global levels. Our members are equipped with years of local experience and many are strong and articulate advocates.
We work to ensure that during discussions that affect grassroots water users, the right people are in the room to present their experiences and share knowledge of how progress can be made.
We lobby for our members to be invited to key meetings and conferences and facilitate their participation. FAN works to increase the number of NGO advocates equipped with the skills and tools to communicate clearly on water policy issues.
FAN seeks representation, accountability and transparency at all levels. To facilitate this, we ensure that FAN delegations represent a diverse range of interests from organizations with a variety of perspectives and strengths.
