The Kazakhstan Water Partnership was created as formal network of 24 institutions (governmental authorities, design, research and academic institutions and NGOs) to facilitate process of the National IWRM and Water Efficiency Plan development (under support of the Government of Norway and UNDP) and further its practical implementation.
The Kazakhstan Water Partnership is playing the key role in awareness campaign addressed to the main IWRM principles among politicians, water professionals and organizations, and public organizations dealt with water issues. Primary expectations regarding IWRM principles implementation are related to a Water Code adopted by the Decree No 481-II dated July 09, 2003, in which the basic requirements to IWRM are clearly enough stated. Practically, only in the beginning of 2004, the reform of the water sector based on the Water Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan has been started. The National IWRM and Water Efficiency Plan formulated by the end 2005 is the basis for Kazakhstan Water Partnership activities to implement the plan into reality.Â
