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.

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.

Helping put water laws into practice

Building on the adoption of new water laws by Kazakhstan in 2003, Armenia in 2007 and Uzbekistan in 2009, GWP Central Asia and Caucasus (CACENA) pressed on to help put laws into practice.

This requires persistence to change attitudes and behaviour – of the national and local authorities responsible for water, the environment, energy, agriculture and basins, and of parliamentarians. GWP CACENA continued to put forward GWP knowledge resources to build the capacity of national and international agencies involved in water issues. In 2010, ten workshops and training sessions were organised by the region's Country Water Partnerships. The main target groups were water practitioners in newly-established water councils.
