GPPN side events and documents

The Global Public Policy Network (GPPN) on Water Management worked with global stakeholders in preparation for the review of international water and sanitation commitments at CSD-16. The GPPN has produced a report on Obstacles and Constraints for the CSD, synthesising stakeholder inputs on how far CSD-13 commitments have been met, and outlining recommendations for the CSD. Many FAN members contributed to the paper.
