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.

Successful Water Week for GWP

GWP had a full agenda at this year’s Stockholm World Water Week. Eight new publications were launched, hundreds of photo statements captured, and a series of video comments recorded – these were in addition to the over ten events that GWP was involved in throughout the week.

A joint launch was held for all new publications on 29 August, some of the authors and collaborators were there and spoke of their work – such as Melissa McCracken, who is the author of the newly published Technical Background Paper "Measuring transboundary water cooperation: options for Sustainable Development Goal Target 6.5"

Professor Juliet Willetts of the University of Technology Sydney talked about what is needed in the gender field and how the newly published Gender Action Piece can be used. José Gesti Canuto, Water and Climate Specialist with UNICEF, described the collaboration with GWP and how two new publications emerged from this: a Guidance Note and a Technical Brief for WASH services.

GWP regions were also involved during the week, with GWP China hosting a session together with the World Resources Institute (WRI) on the topic ‘Circular Economy Cities: Transforming China and India's Urban Wastewater’ – a wrap-up of the session is available here, and GWP Mediterranean co-organised a set of four sessions with a MENA Focus.
