The Global Water Partnership is a working partnership among all those
involved in water management: government agencies, public institutions,
private companies, professional organisations, multilateral development
agencies and others committed to the Dublin-Rio principles.<br />
<br />
The GWP has built up a network of regional partnerships in Central America,
Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Caucasus, China, Eastern
Africa, the Mediterranean, the Pacific, South America, South Asia, Southeast
Asia, Southern Africa and West Africa. <br />
<br />
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 (integrated water ressources management).<br />
<br />
In the Mediterranean, the Partnership has facilitated dialogues on
effective water governance, water and climate, water demand management,
river basin management, and dams. The Partnership has been instrumental in
developing further components of the Framework for Action for the
Mediterranean, promoting good practices in IWRM and producing information
and education material.<br />
<br />
The GWP Mediterranean has been instrumental in facilitating the
"Euro-Mediterranean Water and Poverty Facility", a facility designed to
improve the livelihoods and health of poor people in the region and to
reduce the vulnerability of the region's people to disasters such as floods
and droughts. The Facility is lead by the governments of Egypt, Greece,
Morocco and Tunisia.<br />
<br />
The International Network of Bassin Organisations (INBO) is a programme
associated with the GWP.<br />
