About

GWP’s VISION is a water secure world. Our MISSION is to advance governance and management of water resources for sustainable and equitable development.

OUR UNIQUE VALUE: GWP mobilises action on the global water crisis through a unique combination of social capital, shared values, credibility within the global water community, bottom-up orientation, and expertise. A network of networks, we ensure the ‘voices of water’ can inﬂuence local, national, regional, and global development priorities. 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.

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.

Land and Water Days 2019

The Near East and North Africa (NENA) Land and Water Days are being convened on 31 March - 4 April in Cairo, Egypt, to review the progress made in addressing water scarcity in the region and foster exchange of knowledge and experience among countries and partners.

The event will focus on the NENA region but will link to the global perspective through the participation of countries and experts from other regions (Asia, Africa and Latin America) to provide for inter-regional insights and knowledge sharing. The event will address key challenges to and solutions for sustainable land and water management for food security in five thematic areas:

Pathways to sustainable scarce-water-resources management
Halting land degradation
Land and Water Governance to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in fragile systems
Impacts of climate change on regional development and prospects for increased resilience
Scaling-up investments in water for agriculture

Full details are available on the FAO event website.
