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 Policy on Partners

Partners make up the multi-stakeholder network that works together towards improving water resources management. For instance, the work that GWP carries out involves actors in agriculture, law, industry, education, environment, community water users, mining, human resource development, gender equality, and so on.

Values

GWP's core values unite the Partners and are paramount to pursuing its mission.

One important requirement for membership is that Partners agree to adhere to the core values. GWP Partners, and all GWP entities, agree to strive for inclusiveness, openness, transparency, accountability, respect, gender sensitivity, and solidarity. These are our core values. GWP expects all Partners to apply them, bringing together as wide a group of stakeholders as possible in fulfilment of our mission.

The values underpin meaningful dialogue among people with different interests and mindsets, and strengthen GWP's neutral stance and credibility. Solidarity is at the heart of GWP's development endeavours and is essential to our commitment to the poor and disadvantaged.
