Background 

GWP representatives from Stockholm were specially invited to participate through an initiative by our partners of the upcoming Country Water Partnership of Turkmenistan. This event was regarded as a strategic opportunity for introducing how IWRM can be a helpful mechanism in a concrete project.

Global Water Partnership-Southeast Asia (GWP-SEA) currently has more than 200 partners in the Southeast Asia region. GWP SEA has the support of the Global Water Partnership (GWP) which comprises of 13 Regional Water Partnerships and 76 Country Water Partnerships worldwide. The global network has over 2000 partners in 153 countries.

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.

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 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.
