Consistency and coherence throughout the worldwide GWP Network, as well as sound governance, is fundamental in order to safeguard GWP’s name and maintain its high reputation and credibility as a Network and Organisation. In light of this purpose, GWPO, as the custodian of the GWP name and logo, has established the Conditions of Accreditation for CWPs. They provide an explanation of the set of minimum standard a CWP needs to fulfil in order to be able to use the GWP name and logo. Additionally, the main purpose of creating a CWP is to bring Partners and Stakeholders together who have common concerns within a national context, to support the fulfilment of GWP’s mission.
