Guidelines on Water 2022-25
The Guidelines on Water 2022–25 substantiate the principles of the Foreign Policy Strategy 2020−23 and the IC Strategy 2021−24 in relation to the foreign policy thematic priority of water. The structure is framed by the five key objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership. The guidelines are part of the third level of the cascade of core foreign policy documents. They are primarily aimed at the FDFA but may also provide guidance for other departments and actors.

RésEAU Brief
Water: turning the risk of conflict into an opportunity for cooperation and peace RésEAU Brief no.6, April 2024 It is with great pleasure that we present the sixth edition of the RésEAU Brief series, a medium to share SDC’s learnings from water-related projects and programmes at the global level. This edition addresses water as a vector for peace. Water is a vital element, not only in the fight against poverty but also for peace and political stability. In the future, as the World Resource Institute states, water will be of more geopolitical importance than any other resource, including crude oil, with demand set to rise more than 50% by 2030. Against the backdrop of these challenges, this RésEAU shares project experiences and tools to approach as a vector for peace, including strategies that can be used to strengthen cooperation on water at different levels.
