Timeline guide

Focus and resource persons

Welcome to the NICC timeline guide!

The NICC timelines are developed to share insight on Dutch international cooperation and development. The timelines have been structured according to different themes (water, gender, education, agriculture, climate) and different countries. Each timeline thus discusses a certain aspect of Dutch international cooperation and development.

The timeline Gender & Water focusses on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and water management for raising water productivity. Worldwide 70% of all fresh water use is for irrigation.

Water is a basic need not only for drinking, but also for food production and preparation, care of domestic animals, personal hygiene, cleaning, washing and waste disposal. In most societies, women have traditionally primary responsibility for domestic water management. Water management for farming, by supplying irrigation water and/or removing excess water by drainage, is needed to improve agricultural production.

On the NICC website you can find an overview of the different timelines NICC has developed. The website also offers a 'video gallery' where you can find various interviews with experts from the field of international cooperation and a search engine for the NICC collection.

This timeline is a first draft of a Gender&Water timeline. If you have more input for this or one of our timelines, feel free to contact us! You can do so by sending an email to info@stichtingnicc.nl.
