The GWP immediate objective is to ensure that Integrated Water Resources Management is applied in a growing number of countries and regions, as a means to foster equitable and efficient management and sustainable use of water.
GWP intents to pursue this agenda with realism and persistence. IWRM is not a science, and blueprint solutions for managing water resources will never be available.The Dublin Conference in 1992 was seminal in introducing key guiding principles. Operationalizing these principles has proved difficult and highly dependent on the contexts encountered.
One of the ongoing challenges for GWP is to communicate beyond the water community. Adding perspectives certainly brings complexity, not least by forcing a refined analysis of the incentives for changes of a variety of new actors - it is nevertheless, the only way for building real communities for change and improvement.
GWP is about IWRM and partnership. A process of change and a way of working based on commonality of Goals, Respect and Pluralism. |

The Global Water Partnership (GWP) Is Seeking Nominations And Applications For Its Technical Committee (TEC) The Global Water Partnership’s vision is for a water-secure world, in which communities are protected from floods, droughts, and water-borne diseases, and where environmental protection and the negative effects of poor management are effectively addressed. Its mission is to support the sustainable development and management of water resources at all levels. At the beginning of 2009, GWP launched its 2009–2013 Strategy, which articulates the way in which GWP will pursue its vision and mission in the years ahead. The new Strategy emphasises that GWP needs to continue to be at the forefront of global thinking on water management and to provide support at regional and country levels. General information about GWP and its strategy is available at http://www.gwpforum.org.
