The Partnership is an autonomous association, non-lucrative, apolitical and non-religious, formed into a regional network of partners interested in the promotion of IWRM.
GWP CEE was founded in 1998 to foster integrated water resources management (IWRM) which is defined as the coordinated development and management of water, land, and related resources in order to maximise economic and social welfare without compromising the sustainability of vital environmental systems.
The GWP West Africa strategic plan document was developed following a participatory process with regional partners of GWP-WA. It was inspired by the five-year strategy of the GWP network with its four strategic goals developed using the methodology of Outcome Mapping.
