Advancing the Water Policy Lab approach in and out of the pandemic: A call for stories from practice

development, especially in coun-tries and localities to which we are connected personally and institutionally. We organized two international WPL forums inviting practitioners, researchers, and policy actors to share their perspectives on unfolding issues of water insecurity. The first forum was hosted by the Institute for Study and Development Worldwide (IFSD) in partnership with this Journal, as well as Western Sydney University ’ s Australia-India Water Centre. The second WPL forum also included the Asian Institute of Technology and University of Botswana as co-organizers. The two forums were a huge success and was a testament to what an online community of practice can achieve in the face of such difficult times, including the quality of discussion and knowledge shared around water security and governance under changing contexts. Participants brought insights from across Asia, the Pacific, Africa, and Europe.
