Catalog of Water Actions

This catalog is part of the Youth Current Program - a capacity building initiative to foster water stewardship and agency in young activists living in vulnerable, informal settlements. Inspired by design thinking, it is a creative process that moves from connection and exploration to co-creation and action. The purpose of this catalog is to showcase different community-scale interventions that young activists can implement in their communities.

The Youth Current Program was co-designed with the technical expertise of Rambøll, the coordination of Dreamtown, and the day-to-day implementation of partners: Public Space Network in Kenya and Network for Active Citizens in Uganda.
