Its mission is to influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable. Within the framework of global conventions IUCN has helped over 75 countries to prepare and implement national conservation and biodiversity strategies. IUCN Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office (ESARO) have thematic programmes (and Water and Wetlands is one of them) with projects spreading across twenty three countries in the Horn of Africa, Eastern Africa, Southern Africa and the Western Indian Ocean. One of the projects that IUCN is implementing (within its Water and Wetlands Programme) is the Global Water Initiative (GWI). GWI is being funded by the Howard G. Buffett Foundation and was developed in September 2006 with the aim of 'ensuring that vulnerable populations world-wide have reliable access to clean water in such a way that their dignity, rights, culture and natural environment are not negatively impacted'. The goal of the initiative is to support Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) programs through 3 strategic objectives: Good Governance to improve local and community governance and the enabling policy framework; Sustainable Multiple Uses of Water which includes efficient, effective and equitable domestic and productive uses of water, sanitation, hygiene, and watershed management; and Risk Management so that vulnerable rural communities have increased resilience to water-related shocks.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>The project is implemented through a partnership arrangement amongst key organizations in three geographic clusters: Eastern Africa, Western Africa and Central America.

In Kenya, the partners are: International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere (CARE), Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and Action Against Hunger (AAH). The project is being implemented in the Lower Tana River Basin under the coordination of a National Coordinator, housed by CRS. The 1st three-year phase of the project took place between October 2008 and September 2011 and the 2nd three-year phase is scheduled for October 2011 to September 2014.

The aim of the award is to raise global awareness for these exemplary policies and speed up policy action towards just, sustainable and peaceful societies. The Future Policy Award is the first award that celebrates policies rather than people on an international level. Each year the World Future Council chooses one topic on which policy progress is particularly urgent. Topics covered so far included food security (2009), biodiversity (2010) and forests (2011). In 2012 the world's best ocean and coastal policies will be researched and presented at an award ceremony at the upcoming UN Conference on Biological Diversity in Hyderabad, India.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Tasks and Responsibilities:</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Future Policy Award</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>.
