The Indigenous Engagement Committee was struck in 2020 with the explicit purpose of amplifying Indigenous voices within Global Water Futures. The intent is to ensure that GWF experiences, lessons learned, and visions for the future are discussed from an Indigenous perspective. The specific objectives are to:
- Ensure that community benefits and ways of knowing are integrated into the GWF research program and projects
- Understand the essentials of, and lessons learned about, collaborative research processes with Indigenous communities
- Support the mobilization of GWF Indigenous research, research processes, and experiences, to inform policy and decision making on a local and national scales.
