EDITORIAL : ON THE LONG ROADTO WATER ACCESS for all, we arestanding at a crossroads. We arenow in a world with scarceresources: a world in which the fateof future generations lies on ourcapacity to move from pillage tosharing.

Yet in the mean-time, it is para-mount that wesatisfy the essentialneeds of billions ofchildren, men andwomen for whomwe have to guaran-ty food, health, edu-cation and, first andforemost, energyand water so thatthey can finally pullthemselves out ofpoverty.

Year after year, the response towater and sanitation issues hasbecome increasingly of a politicalorder. The World Water Council,notably through the organisation ofthe Forums, has strongly contributedto place this priority at the top ofthe development agenda, in theSouth but also in the North.

But we need to go further since,beyond words and declarations, whatour planet needs is concrete andcredible actions. This is the challengethat France, Marseille and the WorldWater Council have decided to takeup by organising the 6th World WaterForum in March 2012.

This challenge calls for courage,imagination, boldness and persever-ance. It is up to each of us to con-tribute by putting on the table thethousands of solutions that we willintroduce and discuss with the par-ticular openness that characterisesWorld Water Forums.

Our mobilisation must be complete,political and public-spirited: public-spirited because the impulse andsolutions essentially come from thefield; political because the commit-ments to action will come from deci-sion makers.

The solutions will be useful and sus-tainable in so far as the commit-ments are strong and backed byfigures. And to achieve this andassert this global and local base, wewill organise, throughout the world,hundreds of events and encountersto let the voice of water be heard.

The Marseille Forum represents aformidable opportunity for the causeof water. Let’s make the best out ofit with your participation and yoursupport.

You are all welcomed to join theForum of Solutions.

EDITORIAL : AT THE BEGINNING ofthis millennium we face challengesin some parts of the world that werefaced by Europeans at the beginningof last millennium. Lack of watersupply and sanitation producesinfectious diseases and reduces lifeexpectancy in the majority ofcountries in sub-Saharan Africatoday. Lack of dams and reservoirsto cope with floods and droughtsmake poor countries in LatinAmerica and Southeast Asia to lose25 to 30 percent of their GDP incritical hydrologic events. Similarevents produce losses 10 times lessin the United States. This situationwill become more complex if oneconsiders that critical hydrologicalevents will tend to be even moreintense under the threat of climatechange.

Water is at the center of improvementof quality of life. Water in adequate

quantity and quality is the basis forany society to develop. Developmentwith care for the environment andwith care for societal and cultural val-ues is fundamental for increasing GDPand per capita income. The provisionof access to clean drinking water andappropriate sanitation requires thedevelopment of water supply andwastewater networks, water andwastewater treatment plants that gen-erate jobs and income to workerswith little technological capacity.Hence, besides improving publichealth there is the generation jobsand income that will contribute toreduce poverty in many places in theworld.

Multiple uses of water are the basisof proper water development andmanagement. We should look intothe use of water to human and animalsupply but also to generate electricity

WATER ANDDEVELOPMENT

Benedito BragaPRESIDENT, INTERNATIONAL FORUM COMMITTEE


EDITORIAL: A CITY OF TRADEWITH ITS ARMS OPEN to the worldfor more than 26 centuries, Marseilleis proud to have been chosen by theGovernors of the World Water Councilto host the 6th World Water Forum. It will do all it can to ensure that itsguests effectively make it the "Solu-tions Forum", the crossroads wherethose measures which provide ananswer to the major challenges whichface our planet for the managementof this most vital of resources aredefined and adopted.

The experience of Marseille and thatof Provence, in the water domain, isexemplary and it is not without goodreason that the people of Provencehave developed a real water cultureover the years.

For we have in the past suffered cru-elly not only from aridity, but alsofrom the whims of Nature itself. Hap-pily since the decision taken in 1849by the then Mayor, Maximin Consolat,

to ensure that Marseille had an amplesupply of water, "whatever the conse-quences, whatever the cost", up untilthe commissioning in 2008 of

“Géolide”, the largest undergroundwater treatment system in the world,our city has acquired know-how andinstallations commensurate with itsambitions.

Without doubt, this history and theexceptional link between the peopleof Marseille and Water incited theWorld Water Council to set up its HeadOffice here some fifteen years ago.We are equally happy since to havebeen able to support its development,and proud of the authority and theinternational recognition which theCity has acquired in the service of thewater cause.

In defining the outline of the pro-gramme for the Marseille Forum, the17th and 18th January 2011 will mark anew and important step in this process.I would like to promise its participantsmy fullest backing so as to make thesetwo days a complete success.

In this respect, I intend to underlinethe fundamental role of the localauthorities in water managementterms and the importance of the pactfor the towns and cities, initiated twoyears ago in Istanbul. With its thirteentwin city agreements and twentyeight cooperative agreements, Mar-seille is one of the most active inEurope in terms of decentralized coop-eration and I would like to think thatthe 6th World Water Forum wouldgive a sizeable place to these major

“field” players in water policy, whichis precisely the role that our townsand cities play.

It would seem to me to be essentialthat the 2012 rendez-vous in Marseille,be a real citizen’s Forum and we shalldeploy all our energy to ensure thatour fellow citizens are deeply associ-ated with it, for the commitment ofeveryone is indispensible to makeaccess to water, for all who aspire toit, a universal daily cause.

in a world with less carbon dioxideproduction, to navigate reducinggases emissions, to irrigate crops toproduce food with adequate technol-ogy and handling, to increase the pro-tein productions through aquacultureand last but not least to humanleisure and tourism.

The 6th World Water Forum is goingto address the major issues facingcountries around the world, be themdeveloped or developing countries.Our slogan is “Time for Solutions”very simple, short and direct. We havebeen diagnosing problems such asthe ones described above for a verylong period of time. This is a veryimportant activity because no solu-tion can be found without a good diag-nosis. The previous forums haveproduced a very expressive amountof information on society problemsand their relation with water. Now is

the time for solutions, the time tobring professionals from different sec-tors together with decision-makersand discuss the way forward in anopen and friendly atmosphere. Weneed commitments from all stake-holders. Governments are very impor-tant in the solution of our pressingproblems, but now is time to involvealso the private sector, the nongovern-mental organizations, academia, pro-fessional associations and all thoseready to extend the hand to help.

Welcome to Marseille in March 2012,welcome to this blue movementtowards increasing the quality of lifeof those living in the less developedworld. Let us work together by findingsolutions to our water problems thatcan be implemented in reasonabletime horizons, that are social and eco-nomically feasible and that are com-patible with keeping our planet blue.

Le monde de ressources apparemment illimitées dans lequelnous vivions paraît de plus en plus faire partie d’un passéinsouciant. Allié à la démographie, le développement des activ-ités humaines exerce des pressions croissantes sur notreplanète et ses écosystèmes. Même les ressources qui parais-saient abondantes il y a peu finissent par être affectées.

Les eaux douces sont notoirement affectées : des nappessouterraines sont exploitées au-delà de leur rythme de

recharge, la qualité de l’eau douce est altérée en de nombreux endroits,les catastrophes naturelles liées à l’eau et au climat font des dégâtscroissants, de nombreux écosystèmes protecteurs de notre qualité devie disparaissent ou sont menacés.

Pour autant jamais l’humanité n’aura été aussi consciente des impactsde son développement sur la planète. Et jamais la mobilisation n’auraété si forte à tous les niveaux pour la préservation des biens communs.L’eau n’échappe pas à la règle car elle est souvent la trame de fond quiconnecte les grands enjeux du moment comme elle est le trait d’unionentre les Objectifs du Millénaire.

Cette conscience des enjeux touche aussi l’eau. La sensibilisation surla crise de l’eau s’est accrue dans les dernières années, pour une partgrâce aux travaux des Forums Mondiaux de l’Eau qui ont œuvré audéveloppement de visions partagées des grands enjeux. Témoins decette sensibilisation, le sommet de chefs d’état organisé pour la premièrefois au Forum d’Istanbul, mais aussi l’adoption par l’Assemblée Généraledes Nations Unies d’une résolution sur le Droit à l’Eau ou l’adoptiond’une série d’articles sur la gestion des nappes souterraines transfrontal-ières par cette même Assemblée Générale.

Il faut demain amplifier encore cemouvement. Il faut poursuivre lamobilisation des décideurs poli-tiques à tous les niveaux.

Pour ce faire, les organisateurs duForum proposent de changer résol-ument la tonalité de ses travauxpréparatoires. Ils vous proposent de vous centrer d’icimars 2012 sur les solutions à mettre en œuvre et àdélaisser les discussions sur les problèmes qui ont bâtidans les dernières années un état des lieux suffisantpour laisser place à l’action.

Il s’agit ni plus ni moins de “créer un mouvement Bleu”qui parte des initiatives et engagements de chacun àson niveau à solutionner les problèmes auquel il faitface.

Pour ce faire il est proposé de partir des travaux etrecommandations élaborés précédemment pour, dansun premier temps, se fixer des objectifs cibles et dansun second temps élaborer des plans d’action et prendredes engagements pour les atteindre.

Les cinq forums mondiaux entre1997 et 2009 ont permis de placerles enjeux de l’eau sur l’agendapolitique international. De ce fait,ils ont indéniablement contribuéau développement d’une con-science de l’importance des enjeuxde l’eau et aux progrès réaliséssur la voie des «Objectifs du millé-naire» dans le domaine de l’eau.

Le Forum doit être avant toutperçu comme un processus tri-annuel qui démarre dès la sélec-tion du pays et de la ville hôte pardes travaux préparatoires asso-ciant des aspects thématiques, desaspects régionaux et des aspectspolitiques. Après ces préparatifsqui mobilisent des milliers d’ac-teurs dans les 5 continents, lasemaine du Forum représentel’aboutissement des trois annéesqui le précèdent. Elle n’en est paspour autant le point final : elle estune étape dans un processus con-tinu de dialogue, d’action et d’é-valuation des résultats obtenus.

Emblème de rassemblement etd’ouverture, le Forum s’offre àtoutes les composantes du mondepolitique et de la société civile. LeConseil mondial de l’eau, le payset la ville hôtes y encouragent leséchanges à différentes échellesgéographiques entre tous lesacteurs – notamment ceux despays en développement.


LE FORUM : UN CONCEPT

ORIGINAL

FORUM AND WORLDWATER COUNCIL

Le Conseil Mondial de l’Eau est uneONG internationale qui fournit uneplateforme d’échanges et de partenar-iat entre toutes les organisations dumonde de l’eau. Il a été créé en 1996principalement par des associationsprofessionnelles de l’eau et desAgences des Nations Unies avec pourmission de rendre le monde plus atten-tif aux problèmes de l’eau et de sus-citer des engagements politiques enfaveur de l’eau. Il compte aujourd’huiplus de 400 organisations d’une cen-taine de pays.

Dès sa création ses fondateurs ontdemandé au Conseil de développer leForum Mondial de l’Eau, principal outilde mise en œuvre de ses missions.

Le financement du Conseil Mondial del’Eau est assuré par la ville hôte deson siège, Marseille, par des contribu-tions du pays co-organisateur duForum, par les cotisations des mem-bres et par des contributions de gou-vernements à ses programmes.

La première édition, à Marrakech, avaitattiré environ 500 participants. A LaHaye, en 2000, ils étaient 6.000. Troisans plus tard, à Kyoto, plus de 20.000professionnels, décideurs, élus,représentants d’organisations interna-tionales et non gouvernementales, s’é-taient rassemblés. Ils étaient aussinombreux à Mexico, en 2006, et plusde 25.000 à Istanbul, au mois de mars2009, où des représentants de quelque180 pays se sont retrouvés et où pourla première fois, un sommet de chefsd’états a été organisé.

POLITICAL PROCESSGovernments, parliamentarians, local authorities develop political targetsand solutions, e.g. cities commit to reduce the energy footprints of theirwater services under the Istanbul Water Consensus process.

THEMATIC PROCESS All stakeholders develop and facilitate the implementation of action targetsmobilising a variety of organisations to reach the goals associated with eachpriority for action.

REGIONAL PROCESSES In the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Africa, and in sub-regions develop andfacilitate the implementation of targets referring to regional priorities, asidentified in previous Fora.

LOCAL AND CITIZEN’S PROCESSDevelop and facilitate the implementation of targets through citizen’s actionsand local experiences.

The Forum preparation will rest on 4 processes conducted all in a multi-stake-holder way and interconnected.

The Forum Week in March 2012 will provide an opportunity for all participantsto share the results of these processes and to build momentum toward theimplementation of solutions.

The method that we suggest to achieve this builds on several programmes and processesinitiated in the world in the recent past, such as the Millenium Development Goals. It consistsof setting up a series of targets that list the contributions and successful case-studies theworld water community wishes to put forward to face the challenges of our blue planet. Then,these will generate commitment from people and institutions to identify and to successfullyimplement solutions for meeting the targets.

The spirit is that of global compact for water which will be developed with all of you and willbe constructed throughout thematic, political, regional and citizen’s processes.

WORKING TOWARD TARGETS AND SOLUTIONS


0.3%of global GDP is invested in

sanitition


Water solutions may only be applica-ble is they are rooted in the local real-ities. To make the 6th Forum a successwell constructed regional processesare required.

The 6th Forum will therefore attemptto reinforce the regional processes,which in continuity with the previousFora will attempt to integrate andarticulate the thematic and politicalissues and to build on all previouswater-related processes to translatedeclarations into enhanced concreteaction.

To achieve this, specific efforts will inparticular be devoted to the selectionof SMART targets in a WISE way i.e.through Wide Involvement of Stake-holder Exchanges. Regions will alsobe invited to consider how generictargets defined in the thematicprocess can be “localized” and hencemade more concrete and meaningful.

Strengthening the political processesthat have been initiated in all regionsin the past through in particular thesetting up of regional water fora isalso a concrete objective of the region-al processes. In this respect eachregion will be invited to use the Forumpreparatory process to deliver con-crete outcomes (priorities for action,implementable solutions) that will beused in subsequent global meetingssuch as Rio+20.

Four regional processes are beingorganised and supported by theForum. This number, smaller than inprevious Fora, may require thatRegions be split in sub-regions con-tributing in their own specific way.

IMPORTANT POLITICAL MILESTONES

THE ISTANBUL WATER CONSENSUS: HOW DID LOCAL GOVERNMENT ANTICIPATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONCRETE SOLUTIONS?The Istanbul Water Consensus (IWC) isthe primary output of the Local andRegional Authorities’ political processled for the 5th World Water Forum inIstanbul (March 2009). It’s a compactfor Local Authorities willing to committo adapting their water infrastructureand services to the emerging challengesthey are and will be facing, such as cli-mate change, rapid urban growth, deple-tion and pollution of water resourcesor aging infrastructure. The IWC bringstogether key local stakeholders in pur-suit of stronger policies and practiceswith which to overcome these globalchallenges through a series of commit-ments.

To date, 689 cities from 33countries have signed theConsensus and committed to:

ASSESS future impacts of globalchange on their water services andselect priorities for action

SET TARGETS and implement priorityactions (cf. guidelines in Annex of theIstanbul Water Consensus)

REPORT back at the 6th world WaterForum in Marseilles (March 2012).

Policy makers and political leadersare key to water solutions. They areresponsible for the setting up of poli-cies and regulations. They help createan enabling environment for soundwater management. They are also incharge of the implementation of solu-tions at the local level, waterresources and services being every-where a public responsibility.

Political leaders have been increas-ingly involved in the Forum since thefirst Forum took place in Marrakech.Their participation has evolved grad-

ually and has been structured since2006 in Mexico along three mainprocesses i.e. for National Govern-ments, Local Governments and Par-liamentarians which have their ownspecific preparatory activities.

The objectives of the Political Processare to facilitate a better understand-ing of water issues by public decision-makers, including outside the watersector, and to help raising the impor-tance of water issues issues at all lev-els of decision-making.

The 250 parliamentarians from 57countries attending the 5th WorldWater Forum agreed that waterneeds to be higher on their agendaand that they need to exchange les-sons and resources to play theirimportant role more efficiently.

They especially shared lessons onhow their work of preparing and eval-uating water-related policies, control-ling national budgets and ratifyinginternational conventions related towater could be improved. They specif-ically requested the World WaterCouncil to establish a permanentinternational Parliamentary

“Helpdesk” to aid political cooperationon water legislation and its imple-mentation that will serve to:

> COORDINATE: Guide responsibility forenacting water and sanitation laws;

> SHOWCASE: Share best global prac-tices and water-related legislation;

> RESPOND: Quickly answer urgentquestions;

> LINK: Unite all parties in a globallycooperative inter-Parliamentariannetwork.

The “Parliamentarian Helpdesk” iscurrently under development.

Le Forum poursuivraavec déterminationl’implication les déci-deurs et les hommespolitiques en utilisantl’expérience acquiseà Mexico et Istanbul.

Les trois processusdes gouvernements, des autoritéslocales et des parlementaires serontappelés eux aussi à proposer dessolutions de nature politique. La miseen œuvre des politiques de l’eau estpar nature trans-juridictionnelle :seule une bonne articulation entreles différents niveaux de gouver-nance peut garantir l’efficacité.

Dans cette logique, l’effort porteraparticulièrement sur les dialogueset l’identification de points de blocageentre niveaux politiques.

L’année 2012 sera par ailleurs uneannée particulière marquée par le20ème anniversaire du Sommet dela Terre de Rio. Le processus minis-tériel du Forum aura comme tâchede contribuer à cet événement et detransmettre aux Nations Unies lespréoccupations et les propositionsde la communauté de l’eau.

THE “GRENELLE DEL’ENVIRONNEMENT”:SETTING PRIORITIESAND TARGETS IN AMULTI-STAKEHOLDERSETTINGThe “GRENELLE DE L'ENVIRONNEMENT”

process, initiated by the French Gov-ernement in 2007, convened multi-stakeholder dialogues involvingrepresentatives from industry, tradeunions, professional associations, civilsociety organisations on all main envi-ronmental-related issues: biodiversity,natural resources, climate change, pub-lic health, water, energy, waste man-agement…

An important number oftargets were agreed uponsuch as:

TRANSPORTATION: construction by2012 of 2000 kilometres of highspeed railway, create a tax systemfavouring the least polluting vehi-cles;

ENERGY: develop renewable energyto achieve 20% of energy consump-tion by 2020, develop a carbon tax

BIODIVERSITY: create of a "greengrid" linking natural ecosystems toincrease their resilience

These targets are now in their imple-mentation phase through legal meas-ures under adoption by the parliamentand through concrete action by thestakeholders involved.

By 2030, the demand for food crops in developing countrieswill have increased by

Le Forum Mondialde l’Eau tient salégitimité d’uneimplication trèslarge de toutesles parties pre-nantes desenjeux de l’eau :décideurs poli-

tiques, bénéficiaires, utilisateurs,société civile, experts et profession-nels de l’eau. Pour autant l’eau étantprésente dans toutes les compo-santes de nos sociétés, les acteursde l’eau doivent sans relâche veillerà impliquer, pour entendre et convain-cre, une frange toujours plus largedes acteurs économiques, sociaux,culturels. Car l’eau n’est pas une finen soi, elle est un outil au service dudéveloppement, des sociétés et denotre cadre de vie.

Pour encourager cette participation,une nouvelle commission (nom) aété crée qui a pour mission d’assurerl’enracinement du travail du 6eForum Mondial de l’Eau dans les réa-lités locales et de développer descontributions citoyennes au Forum.Cette commission doit assurer quele Forum implique non seulement lesdécideurs et les experts de l’eau maistous ceux qui bénéficient de l’eau etde ses services et notamment lesconsommateurs et les usagers.

Pour parvenir à cette mobilisation, ilest prévu tout d’abord de mettre enplace des activités et événementsde sensibilisation du grand publicaux enjeux de l’eau. Pour ce faire unappel à propositions sera lancé afinde sélectionner des projets qui pour-ront se dérouler pendant la prépara-tion et pendant la semaine du Forum.

Il est aussi prévu de poursuivre etd’améliorer l’intégration d’activitéspermettant l’expression d’une variétéde sensibilités dans les différents pro-cessus du Forum et notamment destructurer les contributions au Forum

“enracinées dans le local” : Forumsdes jeunes et des enfants, Maison duCitoyen et de l’Eau , Rencontres eauet Cinéma, Sessions de formation(learning centre).

Le Forum, qui se déroule sur unesemaine, représente à la foisl’aboutissement et la consécrationdes trois années de travail qui leprécèdent. Il n’en est pas pourautant un point final : il représenteune étape dans le long processuscontinu de dialogue, rythmé par ledéveloppement des thèmes choisispar les pays et villes hôtes.

Emblème de rassemblement etd’ouverture, il s’offre à toutes lescomposantes du monde politique

et de la société civile. Le Conseilmondial de l’eau, le pays et la villehôtes y encouragent les échangesà différentes échelles géo-graphiques entre tous les acteurs– notamment ceux des pays endéveloppement.

Ce concept original est celui quela France et Marseille déclinent delongue date.

Le Grenelle de l’Environnement auniveau national, les “Parlementsde l’eau” dans chaque bassin hydro-graphique, ou encore les Comitésd’intérêt de quartier à Marseilleconstituent autant de preuves dela vitalité, de l’esprit d’ouvertureet de la capacité d’échanges quicaractérisent la vie de l’eau enFrance et en Provence.

LES ENSEIGNEMENTSDES PRECEDENTS FORUMS Le premier Forum, à Marrakech, en1997, s’est penché en priorité surune “Vision pour l’eau, la vie, l’en-vironnement au 21e siècle”. Unevision débattue ensuite par plusde 6.000 participants, lors du deux-ième Forum, à La Haye, en 2000.De nombreuses organisations dumonde de l’eau et plusieurs gou-vernements se sont ainsi engagésà oeuvrer pour la concrétiser.Témoin privilégié de ces engage-ments, le Conseil mondial de l’eauveille, depuis, à la mise en oeuvredes actions retenues dans ce cadre.

En mars 2003, le troisième Forumde Kyoto a affiché clairement sadétermination à impliquer tous lesacteurs, comme l’illustrent la miseen oeuvre d’un « Forum virtuel del'eau » et la collecte de milliers detémoignages des « Voix de l'eau

». Respectant les engagements duForum précédent, le Conseil mon-dial de l’eau a présenté son rap-

port sur les « Actions pour l'eaudans le monde », un inventaire de3.000 opérations de terrain.

En réunissant plus de 20.000 par-ticipants, le Forum de Kyoto a con-stitué le plus grand événementjamais organisé sur le thème del'eau : 130 ministres étaientprésents à la conférence min-istérielle et plusieurs centainesd'engagements y ont été pris.

Avec une affluence similaire, leForum de Mexico, en 2006, s’estarticulé autour du thème des «Actions locales pour un défi mon-dial ». Ministres, parlementaireset responsables politiques locauxs’y sont, notamment, déclarésmajoritairement favorables audroit à l’eau. Quelque temps plustard, nombre d’Etats, dont laFrance, ont franchi une étape sup-plémentaire en inscrivant ce droitdans leurs législations.

Cette dimension, essentielle entretoutes, a également été au coeurdu Forum d’Istanbul, en 2009.Placée sous le signe du rassemble-

ment, cette manifestation, intitulée« Bridging Divides for Water », («

Etablir des passerelles entre diver-gences en matière d’eau ») a misl’accent sur les relations entrel’eau et l’alimentation, l’énergie,l’adaptation au changement clima-tique, ou encore la gestion descatastrophes.

Elle a également permis d’aboutirà des avancées concrètes commela déclaration ministérielle qui,pour la première fois, insiste surla nécessité de collecter les eauxusées, la création d’un Centred’aide au service de l’action lég-islative, ou encore l’engagementdes maires et des élus locaux dansune gestion plus efficace de l’eauet de l’assainissement à travers lePacte d’Istanbul.

Ces Forums sont depuis l’origineet restent encore aujourd’hui uneinitiative visionnaire du Conseilmondial de l’eau. Ils répondent àun véritable besoin internationalde débat et de concertation sur lesujet.

LES OBJECTIFS D’UN FORUM MONDIAL DE L’EAU Organisés tous les trois ans, lesForums mondiaux de l’eau ont étécréés avec un triple objectif pour-suivi par le Conseil mondial del’eau :

• s’efforcer de mettre les prob-lèmes de l’eau plus en avant surla scène politique, faciliter l’inten-sification des débats en vue derésoudre les problèmes liés à l’eaudans le monde au 21e siècle,

• formuler des propositions con-crètes et souligner leur impor-tance sur la scène internationale,

• susciter un engagement politique.

QUI DECIDE DU LIEU DU FORUM MONDIALDE L’EAU ?Ce sont les 36 gouverneurs quicomposent le Conseil d’administra-tion du Conseil mondial de l’eau,le “Board des gouverneurs”, quichoisissent le lieu du Forum mon-dial de l’eau lors d’un vote à bul-

letin secret. Une commission d’é-valuation a été désignée pourmener à bien les différentes étapesde la candidature. Elle a présentéle fruit de son travail lors du Boardqui s’est tenu à Madrid et au coursduquel a eu lieu le choix du couplepays-ville qui organisera le VIeForum.

Elus tous les trois ans à l’occasionde l’Assemblée générale du Conseilmondial de l’eau par les quelque300 organisations, membres de cedernier, les gouverneurs représen-tent d’importantes organisationsde la communauté internationalede l’eau.

Tous les secteurs d’activités sontreprésentés au travers de cinq col-lèges : institutions intergouverne-mentales, gouvernements etautorités gouvernementales, entre-prises et opérateurs, société civileet associations de consommateurs,associations professionnelles etinstitutions universitaires et deformation.

Siègent actuellement au Board,

des organisations du Maroc, d’Al-gérie, de France, de Turquie,d’Ouzbekistan, d’Egypte, du Nigéria,du Japon, d’Afrique du Sud, desEtats-Unis, du Brésil, ou encore duMexique.

UN CONCEPT ORIGINALCes succès sont dus, pour unegrande part, à l’originalité du for-mat de ces manifestations. LeForum est en effet un espaceouvert et foisonnant. Ni congrès,ni foire, ni événement culturel, leForum est tout cela en mêmetemps. Multiforme, il favorise lacommunication et la sensibilisa-tion du grand public. Original ettoujours dans le Mouvement, il per-met de faire éclore des solutionsnovatrices et consensuelles, quisont souvent reprises dans lecadre de négociations interna-tionales.

La SAFIM, gestionnaire du parc Chanot, a élaboré une con-figuration de son site de 17 hectares qui répond pleinementau cahier des charges établi par le Conseil mondial de l’eau.Il comporte à ce titre des atouts exceptionnels : une taille etune complémentarité d’équipements qui permettent d‘accueillir

l’ensemble des événements du Forum sur un seul et même site, en centreville, parfaitement desservi par les transports collectifs.

L’aéroport de Marseille Provence a imaginé un dispositif d’accueil descongressistes exceptionnel, mobilisant jusqu’à ceux de Roissy et de Nice.Différents niveaux de prestations sont prévus en fonction des arrivants.La gare Saint-Charles déploiera également des services personnalisés.

La Préfecture, en liaison avec la municipalité et les services d’urgence,a prévu un dispositif adapté autant à la sécurité qu’à un accueil person-nalisé des congressistes et des personnalités.

Tous les professionnels du tourisme, enfin, se sont engagés pour assurerune pleine réussite à l’événement.

Situé dans le 8e arrondissement, unquartier central de Marseille, àquelques minutes des plages et duVieux Port, le parc Chanot réunit unCentre des congrès et un Parc desexpositions sur 17 hectares amé-nagés au sein d’un îlot de verdure.Desservi par le métro, neuf lignesde bus et une station de taxis, il est accessible depuisles autoroutes par des voies rapides directes.

Cet espace, qui deviendra pour l’occasion un véritable“Village mondial de l’eau”, offre des capacités permettantd’accueillir sur un site unique toutes les composantesdu Forum. Il sera complété par une palette de lieuxattractifs et emblématiques de la ville – le palaisLongchamp, le Palais du Pharo, la Vieille Charité ouencore le stade Vélodrome.

L’Office du tourisme de Marseille a établi un pland’hébergement complet des futurs participants, sur labase de 15.000 chambres. Ce parc hôtelier est complétéde façon originale par un « pack » complémentaire de2.500 cabines réservées d’ores et déjà sur des paque-bots qui seront à l’ancrage à Marseille en mars 2012.
