Mission & Vision
The Global Water Partnership’s vision is for a water secure world. Our mission is to support the sustainable development and management of water resources at all levels.
GWP believes that an integrated approach to managing the world’s water resources is the best way to pursue this vision—a vision that encompasses all of life.
GWP takes its guiding principles from the Dublin and Rio statements (1992), from the Millennium Assembly (2000), which gave rise to the Millennium Development Goals, and from the World Summit on Sustainable Development (2002) Plan of Action, which set a target for the preparation of IWRM and Water Efficiency plans. Over time, GWP has adapted and elaborated these principles to reflect international understanding of the ‘equitable and efficient management and sustainable use of water’.
