GWP creates and communicates information about integrated water resources management which contributes to improved water governance and, ultimately, water security.

Together with our Partners, we provide knowledge resources and capacity building activities for solving water problems.

Partner

Institutional Partners are the basis of GWP's multi-stakeholder partnership. A strong, diverse partnership can bring about the changes needed to achieve a water secure world. In this section, learn about the benefits of being a Partner and meet a few who already are. We invite like-minded organisations to join us!

GWP Regions

This is where you can find links to the websites of our Regional Water Partnerships (RWPs). RWPs are closest to the countries where we work. They share knowledge and learning across national boundaries and are expected to have an open, inclusive, and gender-sensitive policies for bringing together as wide a group of stakeholders as possible to solve water problems.

Innovative Financing for Water Security, through an IWRM Approach

The learning journey will formally kick off on June 8^th, with a webinar, which will take place in two slots: a morning session from 10:30 AM to 12:00 AM CEST, and an afternoon session from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM CEST (see your local time here).

However, French (morning session) and Spanish (afternoon session) interpretation will be available during the session. More details including the agenda will be made available here.

What is the learning journey about?

Building robust and innovative financing mechanisms for water security through an IWRM approach is necessary to enable sustainable and more resilient water resources management. Out of the four dimensions of IWRM, financing is lagging furthest behind in progression towards achieving SDG indicator 6.5.1 on IWRM implementation. More financing needs to be made available for water security through integrated approaches from a variety of sources, including the public and private sectors. What financial resources are available and how can these be mobilised? Which new and innovative mechanisms need to be created or taken to scale in order to enhance IWRM implementation and ultimately water security? To advance on this topic, the SDG 6 IWRM Support Programme is initiating a learning journey to shed new light on these questions. In this learning journey, we invite you as a water professional to participate in expert discussions and panels, share experiences, reflect on case studies and success criteria, and provide tools to accelerate financing, all related to innovative financing for water security, through an IWRM approach.
