The International Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation (IRTCES) is one of partners of GWP China. On behalf of the Ministry of Water Resources and the UNESCO, the Center organized the International Advanced Training Workshop on International River Basin Management lasting from July 28 to August 3, 2009. There were 51 trainees from 18 countries, covering Asian, European Oceania and African continents, who participated in the training course.

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).

8-10 December 2009, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

This was the third time in the history of GWP CACENA when the region met in Kyrgyzstan. Halfway through the year the regional work plan had to be changed and the Annual Stakeholders Conference (Regional CP) was cancelled, due to uncertainties in the funding of the Work Plan.

 The RC meeting was attended by council members and partly by regional TEC member from all eight countries participated in the meeting.

The Technical Committee of the Global Water Partnership (GWP) defines Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources in order to maximise economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems and the environment.

GWP-Southeast Asia mission is to encourage, support, facilitate member countries network in achieving water security through the implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) approach.

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.
