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.

Rainwater harvesting contributes to drought management

GWP Mediterranean promotes rainwater harvesting (RWH) as a way to manage drought on islands in the region. RWH can help islands become more water secure and adapt to climate change.

A multi-year programme to pilot small and medium-scale RWH systems in public buildings is underway on seven islands in the Cyclades, in the Aegean Sea, Greece. Technicians have been trained, and an educational resource, The Gift of Rain, and activities for schools have been developed. The Coca Cola 3E and Coca Cola Hellas Mission Water corporate social responsibility programme supports the project and collaborates in carrying out activities.
