Key challenges to water security including, for instance, rapid population growth, climate change, and pollution are not bound to specific administrative boundaries. The transboundary cooperation programme was set up to address such critical challenges and promote good governance over shared water courses and aquifers.
The Integrated Drought Management Programme (IDMP) was launched in 2013 in Geneva as a joint initiative of the World Meteorological Organization and the Global Water Partnership at the High-Level Meeting on National Drought Policies.
The Associated Programme on Flood Management (APFM) was jointly founded in 2001 by the World Meteorological Organization and the Global Water Partnership.
GWP is responding to the climate change challenge through the Water, Climate and Development Programme (WACDEP) which includes a portfolio of programmes and projects aiming to build climate resilience through better water management.
Institutional Partners are the basis on which the GWP network is constructed and operates. Becoming a Partner is a highly valued position and brings with it several key benefits to get the most out of the GWP network.
