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.

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 Water Day 2014

The United Nations World Water Day is set for 22 March 2014. This year’s theme is Water and Energy.

The organizers want to raise awareness of the inter-linkages between water and energy, and to contribute to a policy dialogue focusing on the range of issues related to the nexus of water and energy.

The key messages are:

Water requires energy and energy requires water
Supplies are limited and demand is increasing
Saving energy is saving water. Saving water is saving energy
The “bottom billion” urgently needs access to both water and sanitation services, and electricity
Improving water and energy efficiency is imperative as are coordinated, coherent and concerted policies

Full information is available on the World Water Day 2014 homepage.
