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.

World Water Day: What Does Valuing Water Mean to the Water ChangeMakers?

To celebrate World Water Day 2021 and show what Valuing Water means in practice across the world, we have invited some of our Water ChangeMakers to share their stories about the way they have made smart decisions that reflect the multiple values of water– from the mountains of Peru, to the plains of Tanzania.

What does water mean to you? Each of us has different environmental, social, and cultural values that we place on water. The theme for World Water Day 2021 is ‘Valuing Water’ and it calls on people from around the world to share their stories in social media with the hashtags #Water2me and #ValueWater.

In our multimedia publication - Valuing Water - GWP - we have also included commentary videos from Maarten Gischler, Policy Adviser to the Valuing Water Initiative and GWP’s Technical Committee Members, Professor Adrian Cashman and Dr Barbara Janusz-Pawletta, who offer their thoughts on how each ChangeMaker story demonstrates the principles of valuing water.
