Global Water Partnership (GWP)
Aimed at translating the Dublin-Rio principles into practice, and in particular the concept of Integrated Water Resource Management, the GWP was created in 1996 by the World Bank, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA).
The GWP is an international network open to all involved in water resource management, including governments, UN agencies, multilateral banks, professional associations, research organisations, the private sector and NGOs. Its role and action were revealed in the Framework for Action presented at the Second World Water Forum in Hague, March 2001. NGOs were not happy with the Framework for Action published in the Hague, they felt that it was based on a top down process of consultation, technocratic concepts and gave insufficient emphasis or recognition to the rights and experiences of local people and communities or the ecosystems based approach.
