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.

Encouraging participation in transboundary water resources

Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia share the Sava River Basin. As the after effects of the devastating war in the region have subsided, these countries have started to cooperate on environmental issues.

The development of the Sava River Basin Plan is an example. Nevertheless, involving all the stakeholders is a sensitive task. In 2010 GWP Mediterranean began collaborating with the International Sava River Basin Commission, the UNESCO Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe (BRESCE) and the Mediterranean Information Office for Environment, Culture and Sustainable Development (MIO-ECSDE) to prepare a Sava River Stakeholders Involvement Plan and develop practical tools to engage local and national Partners in cooperating to manage shared water resources.
