More than 200 project ideas were received in response to a call by IHE Delft’s Water and Development Partnership Programme for proposals that bring together inter- and transdisciplinary teams to work on finding sustainable solutions to water challenges, redressing injustices and enriching the knowledge on water.

Feedback and next steps

This call follows a two-stage selection process. In the first stage, teams were invited to submit their preliminary ideas. Reviewers are now screening the ideas to assess their potential for funding. By 8 April 2024, the programme will inform the teams behind the project ideas deemed most promising by the reviewers and invite them to develop full proposals.

Other teams will be notified about the outcome, but due to the impressive number of submitted project ideas, the selection committee cannot offer feedback to these teams.

In the second stage, the programme committee will aim to select a maximum of 14 proposals for funding ranging from €50,000 to €100,000 with a duration of two to three years. The final results are expected to be announced at the end of June 2024.

More about the programme

The Water and Development Partnership Programme envisions a world where inclusive and diverse partnerships and marginalised knowledges transform the ways we know, use, share and care for water. To achieve this, the programme funds bold, creative and transdisciplinary projects that combine research, education and capacity strengthening activities aimed at creating a peaceful, just and sustainable world. Implemented with the support of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the programme supports organisations in non-European, low- and middle-income countries as they strengthen their capacity to manage water in sustainable and inclusive ways.
