About

We are committed to our role as a neutral convener and respected for our focus on inclusiveness and sustainability.

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.

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.

Water, Climate and Development Programme in South America

The Water, Climate and Development Programme in South America has been developed to support the integration of water security and adaptation to climate change into development planning processes and investment, promoting Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as a key strategy.

The overall objective of the Programme is to contribute towards better water governance in Peru by demonstrating how improved transectoral interaction is an effective strategy to achieve water security and develop resilience to climate change for sustainable development.

The programme is a joint effort carried out in close coordination with GWP Partners in Peru, including the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Agriculture and other national and local government organisations, academic organisations such as the Pontificial Catholic University of Peru and Universidad Nacional Agria La Molina, as well as NGOs and BOs. It builds on several years of experience supporting IWRM processes in the country.
