Danube Day went global with celebrations at the 2008 World Water Expo
BUDAPEST, 6 October - Global Water Partnership Central and Eastern Europe (GWP CEE) celebrates its 10th anniversary today, presenting results of major achievements over the past decade.
The GWP has mobilized its partners to promote a more integrated approach on how to deal with Danube's water resources.
GWP Central America and other organisations have contributed to reactivating Central America’s IWRM Strategy (ECAGIRH), which had been lying fallow since 2006 due to lack of finances.
In 2008, the Sri Lanka Water Partnership (SLWP) began working with the Water Integrity Network (WIN) to fight corruption surrounding illicit and unregulated river sand mining.
The Global Water Partnership’s mission is to support the sustainable development and management of water resources at all levels. In implementing our 2009-2013 Strategy, our support will focus on four key goals: promoting water as a key part of sustainable national development; addressing critical development challenges (such as climate change, food security energy security and urbanization); reinforcing knowledge sharing and communications and; building a more effective network.
