Water Information Sharing Exchange – WISE

The WISE Initiative assists key decision-makers and stakeholders from different sectors to identify their needs for actionable water and climate data, information, and services. In addition, WISE seeks to overcome gaps by sharing existing data and generating new data, building trust and engagement between stakeholders, and ensuring that data-sharing platforms meet the strictest security and data protection needs. Furthermore, the initiative aims to build upon and complement existing data sources and endeavors involving the public and private sectors, civil society, and academia. Finally, it aims to encourage countries and other stakeholders to learn from each other on common challenges, to establish sustained structures that engage all relevant stakeholders in improving water and climate data for more informed decision making.
