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

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.

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.

World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought

The World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought (WDCD) is observed every year to promote public awareness of international efforts to combat desertification.

Established 23 years ago, the WDCD is designed to highlight international cooperation in efforts to combat desertification and drought. The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) was assigned the lead role in celebrations to mark the Day.

The 2018 campaign is designed to help consumers to achieve two goals. First, to understand their own and their social network’s ecological footprint. And second, to work with the network members in committing to one change in the goods they buy to help move market demand towards investments that maintain, not degrade, the land.

Information about the Day is found on UNCCD's website.
