About

GWP’s VISION is a water secure world. Our MISSION is to advance governance and management of water resources for sustainable and equitable development.

OUR UNIQUE VALUE: GWP mobilises action on the global water crisis through a unique combination of social capital, shared values, credibility within the global water community, bottom-up orientation, and expertise. A network of networks, we ensure the ‘voices of water’ can inﬂuence local, national, regional, and global development priorities. We are committed to our role as a neutral convener and respected for our focus on inclusiveness and sustainability.

Learn

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.

Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus lecture: the role of Communities of Practice (CoPs) in advancing WEFE-Nexus implementation

This lecture focuses on the role of CoPs in advancing WEFE-Nexus implementation. The session is convened in cooperation between USAID Central Asia’s Regional Water and Vulnerable Environment Activity and the WEFE4MED CoP, hosted on the IWRM Action Hub.

📅 28 May 2024
🕙 3:00 PM (Almaty Time/GMT+5)
📍 Online
🗣️ English, with simultaneous English to Russian translation
🖥️ Zoom link

The lecture will address some of the learning theory that supports the CoP concept and discuss some practical examples of GWP-supported CoPs, as well as experiences and lessons from the WEFE4MED Community.

GWP supports more than 20 CoPs worldwide on a wide range of topics related to integrated water resources management including transboundary water cooperation, gender and social inclusion, and SDG 6 monitoring and implementation. The CoP approach has emerged as a favoured model for advancing sustainable water resources management. That said, CoPs are also relatively new to the water sector, so there is no common approach and roadmap for making such communities sustainable and identifying key and common topics.

Explore the CoPs on the IWRM Action Hub.

The lecture is session 24 in a WEFE-Nexus series by USAID.

Lecturer:

Mr. Laurent-Charles Tremblay-Lévesque, IWRM & Knowledge Management Specialist, GWP and PhD Candidate, SDC, Wageningen University and Research
