Sustainable use of water planned in El Salvador

In June 2010 the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARN) El Salvador proposed that GWP Central America and GWP El Salvador should facilitate processes to develop a water policy, a national water strategy and an IWRM plan. 

The invitation recognised the enormous contributions GWP Central America and GWP El Salvador have made since 2006 to promote the importance of IWRM planning for sustainable use of water in government circles. MARN will lead the planning process starting in 2011. Trust in GWP as a key stakeholder and ally to technically support and facilitate these processes is based on participation by government officials in various meetings organised by GWP, such as the IWRM planning workshop held in 2008 in Peru.
