National Water Sector Apex Bodies

For a country to adopt successful nationwide reforms in the water sector, its government needs an authority with the expertise and vision to draw up a road map toward reform, and oversee that each effort successfully achieves its objective. This authority is a water apex body.

ADB promotes and supports National Water Sector Apex Bodies (NWSABs) as critical institutions to improve decision-making for better water governance to

  • promote a national focus on water sector reform
  • guide a water sector reform process
  • facilitate policy dialogue and investment partnerships
