About

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 ChangeMakers People’s Choice Awards: Time to Have Your Say!

One of the best things about the Water ChangeMakers community is the potential to share learning and interact with each other. What better way to demonstrate that quality than for everyone to participate in selecting their favorite Water ChangeMaker? From 14-25 January you can vote for your favourite change journey.

In partnership with the Climate Adaptation Summit (CAS), which will be held on 25-26 January 2021, the Water ChangeMaker Awards is launching two People’s Choice Votes.

Here is how to participate:

Select your favourite Water ChangeMaker from the 12 finalists by casting your vote at gwp.org/vote
In addition, you can also select your favourite climate resilience journey from sub-Saharan Africa at gwp.org/africavote

Voting is open from 14 to 25 January, and you are free to vote for more than one ChangeMaker and renew your vote every 24 hours.

The process will conclude with the announcement of the People’s Choice Award winner in respectively the Africa Anchoring Event and the Water Anchoring Event of the CAS, both on 25 January. The Water Anchoring Event will also provide a platform for the announcement of the final podium of the Water ChangeMakers Awards.

Regardless of the final outcome of the Awards process, we know that all 350 Water ChangeMakers are, in fact, winners who have made positive change for water and climate resilience happen on the ground. Here is more information on all the 78 change stories that made it into the semi-final.

GWP will continue to give life to this community, offering regular opportunities to exchange and learn from each other around common interests. We would also like to acknowledge once again our institutional partners and jury members, without whom the Water ChangeMaker Awards would not have been possible.
