Our board

World Waternet is guided by an independent Board that ensures strong governance and transparent decision-making. Most of our Board members are independent of Waternet and our founding organisations, the Municipality of Amsterdam and the Regional Public Water Authority Amstel, Gooi and Vecht.

The Board sets the course: it defines policy, establishes financial guidelines, and carries the final responsibility for our programmes worldwide. Every year, the Board approves our budget, annual plan, and accounts. The director – an employee of Waternet – is entrusted with the day-to-day management and implementation of our activities.

Decisions are taken by majority vote, ensuring balanced leadership that keeps us focused on our mission: supporting utilities and communities in building a more water-secure future.
