Non-Governmental & Civil Society Partners
Cowater works closely with local and international non-governmental organizations, civil society groups, and development alliances to ensure that our programs are grounded in local ownership and responsive to community priorities. These partnerships strengthen inclusion, accountability, and sustainability by amplifying local voices, advancing gender equality, security, stabilization, democracy, human development, and fostering social innovation. Through collaboration with NGOs and grassroots organizations, we help translate policy into meaningful impact for the people and communities we serve.
