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.

Ties with UNESCAP strengthened

In 2010, for the first time, GWP Southeast Asia and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) jointly organised the Expert Group Meeting, Monitoring Investment and Results in the Water Sector in Asia and Pacific, strengthening ties between the two organisations.

The meeting took place at Asian Development Bank Water Week 2010, in October in Manila. The closer ties between GWP Southeast Asia and UNESCAP provide opportunities to extend their cooperation in technical areas. In light of this, the planned review of IWRM in Southeast Asia that GWP Southeast Asia is doing for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will also serve as an important input to UNESCAP work to monitor investments in water in the region and prepare a road map for water security.
