Priority strategic elements:

1. Adapting to Climate Change

2. Achieving Food Security

3. Facilitating Transboundary Cooperation

4. Improving Financing for Water Management

5. Tackling Urbanisation

5

What are “operational strategies” for priority strategic elements?

• How we are going to implement our Strategy?–various commitments in our Strategy for

each strategic element.• What is GWP’s “niche” in addressing

these priority strategic elements?–global, TEC, regional, national?

6

1. Adapting to Climate Change - 1

• GWP will promote better water management, ‘climate-proofing’ infrastructure and adaptation as the best ways to reduce the impact of climate change while maintaining socioeconomic development.

7


• GWP will offer practical, regionally relevant advice and guidance on adapting to climate change so that it becomes an integral part of current and future water resources management approaches.

8


• GWP will work closely with the World Bank, UNEP Coordinating Centre at DHI, the UN-Water Task Force on Water and Climate Change, and the Cooperative Programme for Climate and Water.

9


• GWP will also seek to build on alliances with key organisations working at the forefront of climate change including the International Research Institute for Climate & Society (IRI).

10

2. Achieving Food Security

• GWP will work with the CGIAR system, particularly with the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) to facilitate adoption of the recommendations emerging from the Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture and the Challenge Programme on Water and Food.

11

3. Facilitating Transboundary Cooperation - 1

• Taking the shared benefits approach, GWP will support regional processes and work with regional organisations and initiatives such as ASEAN, SADC and ECOWAS.

12

3. Facilitating Transboundary Cooperation - 2:• GWP will also work with other partners

such as the World Bank and UN-Water including the GEF to contribute to existing initiatives in all regions extending from the Yellow River to the Nile Basin in support of cooperative processes to make shared waters become a force for regional economic development.

13

4. Improving Financing:• Working with partners such as the OECD

and EUWI-FWG, GWP will build capacity in financing water resources management and development and also demonstrate how this relates directly with good water governance.

• This will include building strong links between water and finance experts to tackle chronic underinvestment and the waste of scarce funds.

14

5. Tackling Urbanisation:

• As part of this effort, GWP will continue its work with UN-Habitat Water Operators Partnerships, where the focus will be on managing ‘used water’ as an essential element in overall water management.
