Gwpin Action 2014 GWP in action 2014 Annual Report About GWP The Global Water Partnership's vision is for a water secure world. Our mission is to advance governance and management of water resources for sustainable and equitable development. The Global Water Partnership (GWP) is an international network that was created in 1996 to foster the implementation of integrated water resources management: the coordinated development and management of water, land, and related resources in order to maximise economic and social welfare without compromising the sustainability of ecosystems and the environment. The GWP Network is open to all organisations which recognise the principles of integrated water resources management endorsed by the Network. It includes states, government institutions (national, regional, and local), intergovernmental organisations, international and national non-governmental organisations, academic and research institutions, private sector companies, and service providers in the public sector. At the end of 2014, the Network had 13 Regional Water Partnerships, 85 Country Water Partnerships, and 3,051 Partners located in 178 countries.

    GLOBAL WATER PARTNERSHIP Lighthouse Case Study “Water is now seen as a central plank in the sustainable management of natural resources. It is embedded in all aspects of development; it is an essential part of sustainable economic growth in agriculture, industry and energy generation; and sustains the natural ecosystem on which everything else depends. Water security and green growth are synergistic and mutually reinforcing. Neither can exist without integration.”1 Dr. Mohamed Ait-Kadi Chair of the Global Water Partnership Technical Committee © Global Solution Networks 2013 Global Water Partnership Lighthouse Case Study i Table of Contents Case in Brief 1 Managing Water in the 21st Century: The Need for Multi-stakeholder Governance 1 The Challenge of Sustainable Water Management 4 The Role of the Global Water Partnership in Sustainable Water Management 5 Brokering partnerships and providing a neutral platform for multi-stakeholder dialogue 5 Guiding water management policies in national and international forums 7 Building capacity for integrated water resources management 8 Responding to criticism of GWP’s Integrated Water Resources Management approach 9 Key Metrics: Assessing the Effectiveness of the GWP 12 How Technology Assists the GWP’s Mandate 13 Challenges and Changing Conditions 13 The Future 14 Implications for Network Leaders 15 Global Water Partnership Papers Significant to this Case: 18 Endnotes 19 Global Solution Networks 22 © Global Solution Networks 2013 Global Water Partnership Lighthouse Case Study 1 Case in Brief Water is not only crucial to life—without plentiful supplies of water the world’s systems of modern agriculture and industrial production would collapse.

  • Global Water Partnership
    GPR cover_V4-3.qxp:GPR cover_V4-3 7/26/10 2:26 PM Page 1 GPR GPR The Global Water Partnership (GWP) was established by the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), the United Nations Development Programme, and the World THE GLOBAL WATER Bank in 1996 in response to international concerns about deteriorating fresh water resources. Its mission has been to support countries in the sustainable management of their water resources through an advocacy network based on the principles of integrated water PARTNERSHIP resources management (IWRM). The GWP functioned as a unit of SIDA until July 2002. Then it became an independent intergovernmental organization under international law known as the Global Water Partnership Organization (GWPO), which provides support to the network — now comprising more than 2,100 individual partners that have grouped them- selves in regional, country, and area water partnerships. A joint donor group led by the U.K. Department for International Development commissioned an evaluation of the GWP at the end of its 2004–08 strategy period. This evaluation found that GWP’s global policy leader- ship continued to be recognized,especially in facilitating multi-stakeholder dialogues on IWRM. Major growth occurred at the country level, with the maturing of country partnerships, the development of national IWRM plans, and the facilitation of bilateral funding to support IWRM initiatives, although the GWP did not achieve the ambitious targets it had set in 2004. More time is clearly needed for IWRM to take root. The present review found that the GWP is generally rising to the many challenges in governing and managing a global advocacy and knowledge network.

  • Looking Back, Looking Forward – Evaluation of the Global Water Partnership (Dalberg, 10 November 2018)
    2018 EVALUATION OF THE GLOBAL WATER PARTNERSHIP Commissioned by the Dutch Directorate-General for International Cooperation (DGIS) in partnership with the broader Global Water Partnership (GWP) Financing Partners’ Group, the 2018 evaluation of GWP was conducted by the consultancy Dalberg between May and July 2018. The evaluation pursued two objectives: to help inform funding decisions by DGIS, and to provide recommendations on changes needed to strengthen GWP. The evaluation included a backward-looking component covering the relevance, the accomplishments (considering notions of effectiveness, efficiency and impact), the governance and the sustainability of GWP since 2014 (start of GWP’s 2014-2019 strategy), and a forward-looking component drawing strategic and operational implications.
