The WRAF was first developed by IWaSP in 2013 and has since been updated with international best practices and lessons learnt from projects implemented at the community level. It guides practitioners in forming and executing water stewardship partnerships. The proven five-phase process increases the quality of partnerships that deliver accelerated and sustainable results to achieve water security for businesses, communities, and government.
Within the five-phase process, the WRAF provides a set of tools for flexible application, as partnerships and their development differ case by case. These tools address various themes, such as building relationships, assessing water risks and options for water risk mitigation measures, and making the business case for water stewardship.
