As a result, we seek to develop into a leading institution that consults water sector actors in decision-making processes to form conflict resilient, effective, and sustainable water management and utilization schemes on all scales of implementation.
In the wake of globalization, a growing population, and shifting climates, water supply obstacles are increasing. SWIM is dedicated to helping overcome these obstacles through optimized and problem-oriented water management approaches and prevention of potential conflicts between stakeholders or nation-states.
We work with policymakers, civil society, academic institutions and conflict actors to transform water related conflicts and therefore promote the realisation of all human rights and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
SWIM offers a variety of services ranging from interdisciplinary research, strategic policy analysis, advice and consulting in international, national and regional water governance, water management and water policy. SWIM has a strong focus on the interdisciplinary connection of technical, spatial geographical data with social science, politics and demographics.
Further, we publish comprehensive reports and precise analysis to facilitate decision-making and raise awareness for overlooked aspects which threaten water security and peace.
SWIM has a strong focus on the interdisciplinary connection of technical, spatial geographical data with social science, politics and demographics. The consideration of both aspects allows SWIM to identify best-practice approaches such as adaptation measures for uncertain variabilities before they occur and thus help to prevent conflicts.
Sara is an experienced professional with a background in Environmental Engineering and a master’s degree in Hydro Sciences and Engineering. Over eight years of experience, she has worked on environmental management, environmental impact assessment and compliance with environmental legal requirements in the private sector. After working on water use and management, her interests gradually shifted towards water governance. As co-founder of SWIM (Solutions for Water Integrity and Management), she works on projects and research to improve water governance, with a special interest in fighting corruption in the water and sanitation sector. In addition, being a founding member of an environmental consulting company in Colombia and a youth organisation like SWIM allowed her to develop strong leadership and project management skills.
