The Water Youth Network (WYN) is a global and inclusive connector in the water sector, with a vibrant community of students and young professionals across disciplines. The WYN connects existing youth organisations and promotes them. Empowering, connecting and change making is WYN’s motto, with valuing inclusion, innovation and a collaborative spirit.
The aim of the WYN is to offer a platform (on and offline) for young people to exchange with one another, to promote their inclusion in decision-making processes and to facilitate the adoption of youth friendly policies at all levels. The four priority areas of the WYN are: 1) connecting, 2) creating continuity between youth initiatives, 3) managing knowledge and pushing for innovation, and 4) facilitating meaningful youth representation. One of the working groups at WYN focuses on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR).

The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
