About the Water Stewardship Award

The Lusaka Water Security Initiative (LuWSI) is a multi-stakeholder collaboration system that was initiated as a result of the realization that the complexity of issues threatening Lusaka’s water security could not be addressed by one single actor, but requires a multi- stakeholder collective action by water managers, water users and those who indirectly influence water. Currently, the partnership is made up of 31 partners comprising public sector, private sector, civil society and international organizations who have come together to support a common agenda for “water security for all to support a healthy and prosperous city.” LuWSI partners collectively engage and lead in dialogue, analysis and knowledge generation, advocacy and awareness raising, planning and project development, and capacity building. Most importantly, partners collaborate in developing and implementing strategic and timely projects which concretely contribute to improving water security for Lusaka’s residents and businesses using a Human Rights Based Approach (HRBA).

The Water Stewardship Award was launched in January 2018 to promote sound water resource management by companies. The Water Stewardship Award is focused on water conservation and efficiency in business and industry. The award is a collaborative activity facilitated in partnership with the Zambia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ZACCI) and a project task team of LuWSI partners who include the National Water Supply and Sanitation Council (NWASCO), GIZ NatuReS Programme, Zambia Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA), Worldwide Fund for Nature WWF Zambia, , Action for Water and WaterAid Zambia among others. The Water Stewardship Award seeks to among others promote, recognize and incentivize good corporate water stewardship among water using companies operating in Zambia.
