Swiss Water Partnership

The Swiss Water Partnership (SWP) is a formal multi-stakeholder platform bringing together around 70 Swiss organisations from academia, civil society, public and private sectors, with the goal to contribute to solving global water challenges by developing and implementing innovative solutions for water challenges in developing and transition countries. Its vision is to be a globally recognized Swiss platform of high-quality transdisciplinary water solutions.

Since its launch in 2012, Skat Consulting is an essential part of the SWP Secretariat. We support the management of the SWP by ensuring implementation of the SWP action plan by establishing partnerships for collaboration, managing events, communication and supporting customer acquisition & retention as well as facilitating steering board meetings and general assemblies.

As the Secretariat’s Youth Focal Point, SKAT leads the SWP’s branch dedicated to young people (SWP Youth). This includes the management of a global youth community of over 500 members and partners, coordinating online and in-person capacity building programmes as well as networking and mentorship initiatives with the goal to enable and encourage youth up to 31 y/o to build a career in water. SC also supports the steering committee in developing an updated strategy for youth empowerment.
