The Butterfly Effect (BE) is a network of around 130 international and local CSO/NGO, from all over the globe, which advocates for effective local solutions that have a sustainable impact on improving access to water and sanitation and water resource management.
Our mission is to ensure that the NGOs/CSOs' voice, from all world regions is strong and heard in the international water agenda when it comes to advocating water’s essential role in sustainable and equitable development. The network speaks not on behalf but rather supports its members to voice the views of the sector in strategic water-related international fora (World Water Forum, Agenda 2030, midterm review Decade, climate change conferences, etc.) in order to influence consistently the international water political agenda.
The Secretariat of the Butterfly Effect is coordinated by the International Secretariat for Water (ISW)
