On December 14th, 2023, the Council of Ministers has approved the resolution that establishes the sector’s strategic plan (PENSAARP 2030).
The plan establishes the development framework for the water services sector (water supply and wastewater sanitation) in Portugal, updating PENSAAR 2020 and introducing a new component: rainwater management. Based on the assessment of the current situation of the sector and taking into account, in particular, the emerging challenges of climate change, PENSAARP 2030 identifies the main strategic priorities for investment and financing of water services for the current decade.
The Plan aims at four global strategic objectives, materialized in 70 measures distributed across different priority levels: the effectiveness of services; the efficiency of services; the sustainability of services; and the economic, environmental and societal valorization of services.
LIS-Water has contributed to the formulation of this plan, providing advice to the government of Portugal. It is now important for the sector to unite efforts for a successful implementation, with a reinforced monitoring and management mechanism.

The vision of Associação LIS-Water – Lisbon International Center for Water is to contribute to a better world through better water governance. It thus promotes more effective, efficient and resilient water supply and wastewater and rainwater management services, within the framework of sustainable development objectives.
These water services are essential for the well-being of citizens and for economic activities, with a clear impact on improving public health, environmental sustainability and mitigating risks, namely arising from climate change.. They generate benefits in terms of job creation, economic growth, increased social stability and reduced conflicts, contributing to a more developed, peaceful, equitable and healthy society.
LIS-Water’s mission is thus to reinforce public policies, regulation and management of water services for the benefit of society, integrating the best knowledge in management, economics, engineering, law, social sciences, communication and other relevant areas.
Together with its partners, the association intends to make available and produce the best and most up-to-date knowledge at an international level and to transfer it continuously to decision-makers, water professionals, industry and society.
In this way, we will make our contribution towards achieving the great goals of humanity regarding better water governance, for a better world.
