GLOBAL WATER FRAMEWORK 6th World Water Forum Marseille 12-17 March, 2012 IFC Secretariat Under the supervision of: S. NGUYEN-KHOA, S. SIMONET, N. BERTHELIER, J. NEWTON and F. LACROIX DRAFT June 2012 1 Foreword The International Committee of the 6th World Water Forum is very pleased to convey to the entire water community, not only the content of all preparatory works to the Forum, but also the complete record of the sessions which took place from 12 to 17 March 2012 in Marseille. This work would not have been possible without the tremendous mobilisation of numerous motivated, dynamic, conscientious people who gave their time, their energy and their professionalism (skills and knowledge) on a global scale, to make this Forum the success it was in terms of richness and content diversity as well as results. Whether they are thematic or regional coordinators, working on a level of a priority or on a session; whether they are leaders of working groups, experts, volunteers, from associations, parliamentarians elected for regions, large cities or rural sectors, business executives, members of international organisations, national or local government administration managers; they are gratefully hereby acknowledged. It would take too long to mention them all here of course but most are identified in the following document session by session. We will not forget of course all the IFC team members who have achieved a remarkable performance in terms of organisation, quality, structuring, and seriousness of the tasks they had the honour to conduct. This document brings together everything that has been said, produced, proposed, and promoted during this major gathering that was the 6thForum in Marseille. It is a working tool for everyone to help their actions and a support to the world water related issues. That is the wish we are addressing in conveying this document to you. Thank you.
