Niaga SPOTLIGHT: Integrated Water Resource Management
Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) in Malaysia faces significant challenges due to rising urbanisation, climate change, and outdated infrastructure.
As of 2024, the country’s water demand is projected to increase by 3-5% annually, primarily driven by urban growth and agricultural needs.
60% of treated water is lost through leakage, and water pollution continues to affect key rivers, with only 53% of rivers meeting acceptable water quality standards.
Charles Santiago, Chairperson, National Water Services Commission (SPAN) discusses IWRM via actionable strategies including strengthening regulations, decentralising management, promoting public-private partnerships and enhancing public awareness in order to improve climate resilience.

Niaga SPOTLIGHT: IDEVAW 2024 FOCUS: Addressing Economic Violence & Life Cycle Poverty
The global cost of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) has been estimated at least 1.5 trillion dollars
A World Bank study found that VAWG costs 1.2–3.7% of GDP for some countries, and the WB emphasises that these proportions of GDP are what many countries spend on primary education.
Thus, the impact of VAWG goes beyond the individual and affects communities, businesses and overall economies.
A 2023 DOSM report indicated that Violence Against Women (VAW), particularly intimate partner violence (IPV), remains prevalent in both urban and rural areas. In fact, some studies suggest that more than 50% of women have faced some form of violence, including physical, emotional, or economic abuse and violence.
For this International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (IDEVAW), NIAGA SPOTLIGHT focuses on actionable strategies for addressing the roots causes of Economic Violence Against Women via economic empowerment and gender balance in business and finance to break life cycle poverty.
