Outcome 3a
Global entities, such as UN agencies, multi and bi-laterals, and the corporate world are better informed through GWP knowledge dissemination about issues related to managing the world's water resources.
Outcome 3b
Stakeholders, including governments, finance and planning ministries, NGOs, the private sector and youth, have better access to relevant and practical knowledge, and more capacity to share that knowledge.
Outcome 3c
GWP embeds a communications culture across the Partnership and stakeholders at all levels take up strategic information and key messages.
Strategy to reach Goal 3
GWP has made conceptual and technical contributions to water management and sustainable development at global, regional and national levels. The network has laid a strong intellectual foundation for integrated water resources management in publications on issues such as adapting to climate change, developing infrastructure, river basin organisations and financing. The Catalyzing Change series, prepared by the Technical Committee, supports countries in using the IWRM approach. GWP's educational and advocacy role has led to changes in policies and legislation.
GWP will implement a comprehensive communications strategy that builds on its knowledge base and expands water advocacy more broadly to take in social and economic development. To do this GWP will develop two interlinked areas: the internal communications culture and the Partnership's communications in global, as well as in regional, country and local development discourses. Specific elements of the strategy to reach Goal 3 are outlined below.
