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.

Water, Climate and Development Programme in South Asia

The Water, Climate and Development Programme in South Asia was developed to support countries and regional organisations to integrate water security and climate resilience programming at transboundary, national and local levels through policy dialogues and participatory approaches.

South Asia is endowed with vast water resources, which are essential for basic human needs, agriculture, hydropower, industries and to sustain aquatic environment. The Programme aims to improve the resilience of South Asian countries to withstand the impacts of climate change by, among others, integrating water security and climate resilience in development planning, developing partnerships and capacities to build resilience to climate change through better water management, and developing “no” regret financing and investment strategies for water and climate change adaptation.

This regional programme will be implemented by Country Water Partnerships (CWPs) in Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The Programme was launched at India Water Week in April 2013.
