WES-Net India is a learning alliance of stakeholders in the Water and Environmental Sanitation sector, including NGOs, UN agencies, private sector, consultants, government departments and donors.
WES-Net India was established in December 2004 by a number of organisations with a stake in the sector and its development, including Plan International, Pragmatix, UNICEF and the World Bank/UNDP Water and Sanitation Programme. At present, WES-Net India has about 600 members, including individuals and various institutions, across the country.
WES-Net's objective is to improve knowledge sharing and co-ordination within the water and sanitation sector. The focus is on achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The network aims to enhance horizontal and vertical exchange of information and experiences through continuous feedback from people who use it. WES-Net is also the Water and Sanitation Community of the UN's Knowledge Management Partnership Initiative. The solution exchange platform (e-discussions) enables WES-Net members to participate by raising and addressing issues which are shaping the water and sanitation sector in India.
