This brief outlines why water is important to achieve the MDGs and how it should be managed to this end. Specifically, it explains why IWRM has been adopted by the international community and how it can contribute to meeting the MDGs. However an IWRM approach will support not just achievement of the MDGs but also the long-term economic development, poverty reduction and environmental sustainability that will be needed to sustain that achievement.

Cette note politique vise à exposer brièvement pourquoi l’eau est si importante pour la réalisation des OMD. Plus spécifiquement, cette note s’attache à expliquer pourquoi l’approche structurée baptisée GIRE a été adoptée par la communauté internationale et comment elle peut contribuer à atteindre les OMD. Cependant, la GIRE peut aussi soutenir le développement économique à long terme, la réduction de la pauvreté et la durabilité environnementale qui seront nécessaires pour atteindre les objectifs.

Данное резюме подготовлено, чтобы обеспечить специалистов водного хозяйства кратким обзором того, как учесть гендерные аспекты при разработке стратегий и планов интегрированного управления воднымиресурсами.

В данном резюме для лиц принимающих решения рассматриваются причины, почему водные ресурсы настолько важны для достижения ЦРТ, а также вопросы, связанные с организацией их эффективного управления и использования. Важно найти объяснение, почему структурированный подход, известный как интегрированное управление водными ресурсами (ИУВР), был воспринят международным сообществом, и каким образом он может внести свой вклад в достижение ЦРТ.

This paper focuses on the implications of IWRM for poverty reduction. It argues that no strategy for poverty reduction can be effective unless water policies in all their dimensions are brought within its purview, and IWRM is adopted, in order to guarantee a fair and transparent moderation of competitions over water access and use. This is a Technical Background Paper, written by the GWP Technical Committee, a group of internationally recognised professionals in integrated water resources management.

This paper (1.98 MB) focuses on the implications for poverty reduction of taking an IWRM approach. The paper argues that no strategy for poverty reduction can be effective unless water policies in all their dimensions are brought within it purview, and IWRM is adopted which allows competitions over access and uses to be fairly and transparently moderated. The paper (593.6 KB) is divided into two main parts. The first part puts forward a strong case for applying IWRM globally and defines the IWRM concept and process. The second part provides additional advice and guidance on how IWRM could be implemented in different conditions. The Spanish version.
