This week in Midrand (9-13 November), South Africa, the Global Water Partnership's five Africa regional offices and its Mediterranean one are working with key allies to translate Africa's commitments on water into action. At the top of the agenda is financing water infrastructure, water supply and sanitation and climate change adaptation.

The Sino-Swiss Cooperation Dialogue was taken place in the office building of the Ministry of Water Resources on October 19, 2010.

Institutional Partners are the basis on which the GWP network operates. Becoming a Partner brings with it several benefits to get the most out of the GWP network.

Becoming a GWPSA Partner is open to any entity- except individuals- involved with or having an impact on water issues, related to the sustainable development, management and use of water resources.

GWP partners with more than 3,000 organisations that share its aims and values in the sustainable development, management, and use of water resources. Partners share information and experiences, and draw on each other for advice and assistance.

GWP Southern Africa (GWPSA) is one of 13 regional networks that make up GWP, an international network that was created in 1996 to foster implementation of integrated water resources management: the coordinated development and management of water, land, and related resources that maximises economic and social welfare without compromising the sustainability of ecosystems and the environment.

The GWP network adopts multi-year strategies approved by the Partners. To implement the current strategy, 3-year work programmes and annual workplans have been developed that are approved by the global Steering Committee. Each year GWP reviews progress toward the implementation of the strategy. Please find below links to GWP's strategies. The Work Programmes, Workplans, and Progress Reviews are in the right-hand column.
