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 Southeast Asia

The Water, Climate and Development Programme in Southeast Asia aims to integrate water security and climate resilience in development planning processes, and support countries within Southeast Asian region to adapt to a new climate regime through increased investments in water security.

By building climate resilience, the initiative will contribute to peace building and conflict prevention, support ASEAN integration and help safeguard investments in economic development, poverty reduction and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The initiative intentionally aims to strengthen global-regional-national linkages. The programme will take the lessons learned at the national level into regional and global discussions on climate change adaptation. The WACDEP in Southeast Asia also contributes to achievement of the objectives of the UNFCCC national adaptation plan (NAPs) process of each country within Southeast Asia Region.

The objectives of the programme are to support countries in:
