NWP leads dialogue with Dutch Minister Foreign Trade and Development Aid | A year of progress with UWP3 | UN International Procurement Seminar 2025

It is particularly important that the integrated approach plays a vital role in policy making, where government, business, NGOs and knowledge institutions work together on global water challenges.

This week, Anne Loes Nillesen was convened in an inspiring conversation, as a part of the NWP (Netherlands Water Partnership) Advisory Board, a high-level meeting with Reinette Klever, the Minister of Foreign Trade and Development Aid; Steven Collet, the Deputy Director-General of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and, Interdepartmental Policy Officers.

This important dialogue, held in The Hague, was prompted by the Minister’s invitation to discuss the future of development aid for water management as part of a broader Dutch foreign policy ahead of an upcoming Cabinet policy letter on development aid.

Other attendees included notable people from the private sector, civil society, and academia, such as Toine Ramaker (VEi), Johannes Boonstra (Wetsus), Lisa Brand (LG Sonic), Michel Riemersma (Royal Haskoning DHV), Jacob J. Vreugdenhil (Woord & Daad), Marieke van Nood (Dutch Water Authorities), Henk Nieboer (Adaelta, Aquius Capital), Dorien Lugt (HKV), Frank Goossensen (Topsector Water & Maritime, Arcadis), and Rick Elmendorp (NWP).
