Regional Partnerships
Since its inception, the GWP has built up a network of Regional
Partnerships in Central America, Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Caucasus, China, Eastern Africa, Mediterranean, Pacific, South America, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Southern Africa and West Africa. These Regional Partnerships bring various sectors and interest groups together to identify and discuss their common water problems and to develop action plans based on IWRM.
See left menu for Regional Actions.
Consulting Partners
Consulting Partners are the Members of GWP. The Consulting Partners meet once a year to review reports from the Steering and Technical Committees, appoint the Chair of the Partnership, and elect and appoint members of the Steering Committee. These meetings are open to observers for information exchange and discussions.
Steering Committee
The Steering Committee acts as a Board of Directors and meets twice a year. Committee Members are elected by the Consulting Partners and appointed for three years. Gender balance on the Committee, and throughout the Partnership, is given high priority.
