The water stakeholders in Sierra Leone agree to establish a National Water Partnership (CWP) at a meeting held December 23, 2011 in Freetown. The consultative meeting was convened to validate the feasibility study for the creation of a CWP in the country.
What does GWP do? It works for the sustainable management of the world’s water resources, from local to global level. We are “ambassadors” for water, speaking up for the resource itself, stepping in and facilitating change that will improve the way water is managed and used.
Becoming a Partner is a highly valued position and brings with it several key benefits to get the most out of the GWP China network.
