About

GWP’s VISION is a water secure world. Our MISSION is to advance governance and management of water resources for sustainable and equitable development.

OUR UNIQUE VALUE: GWP mobilises action on the global water crisis through a unique combination of social capital, shared values, credibility within the global water community, bottom-up orientation, and expertise. A network of networks, we ensure the ‘voices of water’ can inﬂuence local, national, regional, and global development priorities. 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.

GWP Network Meeting 2019

GWP's annual Network Meeting 2019 took place 25-26 June. Based on the successful participation of so many Partners at last year’s meeting, an online ‘Follow the Sun’ consultation was also held this year. All GWP Partners were invited.

All recorded sessions are on GWP's Facebook page: www.facebook.com/globalwaterpartnership

The meeting gave GWP Partners an opportunity to engage directly with other Partners and with regional and global peers. Last year, participants contributed to the new GWP strategy that is being developed for 2020 and beyond. This year they had an opportunity to consider how, as a global action network, GWP can implement the strategy.

‘Follow the Sun’ is a format that allows GWP to consult with Partners in each region over a 29-hour period. Particpants can join a 2-hour session in their region, and then their region hands over input to another region. The Network Meeting culminates in a summary and forward-looking global session at the end (recorded for those who cannot participate).

WHO: GWP Partners
DATES: 25-26 June 2019

DRAFT TIMING AND SEQUENCING OF THE REGIONAL SESSIONS

GUIDING QUESTIONS

Each regional session discussed questions relevant to Partners in that particular region. All regions were expected to report back on the following:

What are you doing to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), supporting transboundary water cooperation and mobilising the climate change resilience community to leverage the water agenda?
Addressing the water challenges in your country as a GWP Partner, which other organisations and groups would you like GWP to learn from, mobilise and engage with (and why)?

HOW TO CONNECT TO THE NETWORK MEETING

There were different options to join the Network Meeting, either by face-to-face sessions in selected countries (contact your GWP Regional or Country Water Partnership), or by joining online on GWP's Facebook page.
