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.

Bulgaria aligns local and regional basin plans

GWP Bulgaria is helping local groups see how they fit into broader regional perspectives such as the European Water Framework Directive (WFD).

As the European Commission (EC) provides funds for IWRM projects, an understanding of the broader picture helps local groups formulate their submissions according to EC requirements. In addition, GWP Bulgaria translates GWP knowledge documents into Bulgarian and gets Partners involved. GWP Bulgaria also shared recommendations from the regional European Water Conference 2009 in April in Brussels with local water directorates.
