Capacity building – at the individual, institutional, and societal levels – is an important means to further IWRM principles and boost the overall quality of water governance structures. Capacity building essentially stands for a twofold process: (1) it is about understanding the obstacles that prevent the people, the organisations, or any other elements of an institutional framework from fully realizing their development goals; and (2) it is also concerned with finding the applicable mechanisms in overcoming these challenges and ultimately achieving better and more sustainable results.

Water Security for Development
Water is the key to the world’s ability to cope with climate change. Whether it is food security, poverty  reduction,  economic  growth,  energy  production  or  human  health  –  water  is  the  nexus.  Climate change is the spoiler.  No matter how successful mitigation efforts might be, people will experience the impacts of climate change through water.

 

GWP  is  responding  to  the  climate  change challenge  through  the  Global  Water,  Climate  and  Development Programme that includes a portfolio  of programs and projects that aim to build climate  resilience through better water management.
