OTHER PARTNERS: CSD, GWP, UNESCO-IHE, GPA, INBO, IUCN, IWRA

DESCRIPTION

  • CSD/GEF Roundtable on IWRM or other priority issue to emerge from CSD-12(April 2004).

  • A global roundtable, in follow-up to CSD-12 (and contributing to CSD-13) will establish linkages and alignment of the GEF IW community as synergistic with and contributing to CSD processes, which in turn contributes to sustaining the benefits of GEF interventions over the long term. CapNet?, a UNDP capacity-building project for IWRM, is providing substantial in-kind contributions to IW:LEARN (see Annex J). Thus, CapNet? will be a key partner in realizing this activity.
