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.

GWP Addresses the World Meteorological Congress

GWP has presented its contribution to the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) at the 17th World Meteorological Congress in Geneva.

The World Meteorological Congress is the supreme body of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The Congress assembles its delegates of Members once every four years to determine the strategic direction of the organization.

This year, the 17^th World Meteorological Congress was informed on how the implementation of the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) has enabled the development of partnerships within and outside the UN system, and how these partnerships have been formalized and implemented. GWP is an active partner in the GFCS and was therefore invited to present its work contributing to the GFCS.

GWP Acting Executive Secretary Rudolph Cleveringa delivered a video statement at the event on 27 May:

During the Congress, GWP is also jointly with WMO organising a side event on the HelpDesks of the WMO/GWP Integrated Drought Management Programme (IDMP) and the WMO/GWP Associated Programme on Flood Management (APFM). This event takes place on 2 June - the full Congress agenda and documents are available here: http://cg-17.wmo.int/
