The Ethiopian Country Water Partnership and GWP Eastern Africa have implemented an IWRM pilot project in the Berki River Basin to establish a framework and to promote the application of IWRM at the catchment level.

With the support of the Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of the Environmental Protection, the High-Level Round Table Meeting was jointly organized by GWP China and the Swiss Development Cooperation Agency (SDC) in Beijing, on April 8, 2010. The co-sponsors include The Nature Conservancy, UNESCO Office Beijing, UNICEF Office for China, China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research (IWHR) and Chinese National Committee on Large Dams.

As a global action network, GWP reaches out to a wide range of stakeholders in order to bring about changes to the way water resources are managed. Ideally, institutions join GWP as a Partner in order to enjoy the full range of benefits. It is possible that some institutions are not able to join. Nevertheless, GWP still wants to work in close partnership with as many institutions as possible that share our vision for a water secure world. To that end, we have Strategic Allies. We work with some of them informally, with others we have a formal Memoradum of Understanding (MoU documents are listed in the right-hand column). Below, a list of GWP's global Strategic Allies.

The GWP Network comprises 13 Regional Water Partnerships. A Regional Water Partnership is comprised of all GWP Partners in a region. Representatives of Partners in a region may be a member of the regional Steering Committee (or equivalent).

Global Water Partnership Southeast Asia is one of the region in the international network which created to foster an integrated approach to water resources management (IWRM). The Global Water Partnership's vision is for a water secure world. Its mission is to advance governance and management of water resources for sustainable and equitable development. The Global Water Partnership Southeast Asia was born in the year 2004. The Southeast Asia region was one of the earliest regions to take-off with a Global Water Partnership Regional Meeting on Water Resources Management for Southeast Asia held in Manila in June 1997

GWPSA's programmes and activities since inception have supported institutions charged with delivering on continental, regional & national water-related priorities by following an Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) approach; which is a coordinated, goal-directed processes for controlling the development and use of river, lake, ocean, wetland, and other water assets.

Home to a quarter of the world’s population, South Asia is endowed with vast water resources with potential for high economic development. However spatial and temporal factors in distribution subject the region to water related disasters such as droughts, floods and storm surges, which are increasingly compounded by climate change and global warming.

The application of integrated approaches to water resources management remains a key challenge and a key rationale for the 12 Country Water Partnerships forming the Regional Water Partnership.
