GWP creates and communicates information about integrated water resources management which contributes to improved water governance and, ultimately, water security.

Together with our Partners, we provide knowledge resources and capacity building activities for solving water problems.

Institutional Partners are the basis of GWP's multi-stakeholder partnership. A strong, diverse partnership can bring about the changes needed to achieve a water secure world.

GWP Regions

This is where you can find links to the websites of our Regional Water Partnerships (RWPs). RWPs are closest to the countries where we work. They share knowledge and learning across national boundaries and are expected to have an open, inclusive, and gender-sensitive policies for bringing together as wide a group of stakeholders as possible to solve water problems.

Water, Climate and Development Programme in Central America

In order to contribute to the comprehensive and sustainable economic development in the region, GWP Central America has launched the Water, Climate and Development Programme, a programme that will promote water security as a strategic adaptation to climate variability and change.

The overall objective of the Programme is to contribute to the integrated and sustainable economic development in the region, promoting water security as a strategic element for adaptation to climate variability and change, and reduction of the risk of related disasters.

This Programme fits within the context of three regional instruments developed by the Central American Integration System (SICA): the Regional Climate Change Strategy (ERCC), the Strategy and Plan for Integrated Water Resource Management in Central America (ECAGIRH), and the Central American Policy for Integrated Risk Management (PCGIR), as well as within the context of the political and regulatory framework at the national level.

The Programme will be implemented in six countries in the region: Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.
