The GWP Statutory Network Meeting is an opportunity for partners to learn from each other and exchange ideas with GWP. As part of the Network Meeting, the Partners have the opportunity to comment on the GWP in Action 2019 Annual Report and the GWP Annual Financial Report 2019.\n

Based on the experience of GWP\u2019s  2018<\/a> and 2019<\/a> ‘Follow the Sun’ Network Meeting, we have learned that holding this meeting online ensures a large and inclusive participation. We also recognize that, due to COVID-19, there will be limits to physical gatherings; nevertheless, we are creating a format that allows for broad participation.<\/p>\n

WHEN:<\/strong> 21-22 October 2020 (see specific agenda and timings<\/a> below)<\/p>\n

WHAT:<\/strong> This year we are moving to a continental format, where we begin the journey with an Opening Session<\/a>, followed by three continental sessions \u2013 Latin America & Carribean, Eurasia and Africa and Mediterranean \u2013 and end with a Closing Session<\/a>. Each continental session will consist of an inter-regional segment (customised) and a global segment, where the same question will be discussed in all three continental sessions, culminating in key messages from the whole Network in the Closing Session.<\/p>\n

HOW:<\/strong> The meeting will take place online (ZOOM ). Please fill this form to REGISTER<\/span><\/a> . Closer to the event, ZOOM links to the different sessions will be shared with the registered participants. Interpretation will also be offered in some of the sessions, and parts of the meeting will be broadcast live on GWP\u2019s Facebook page<\/a><\/span> with the recordings available directly after, for those GWP Partners who can not connect or participate in the Network Meeting.<\/p>\n

GLOBAL QUESTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Covid-19 crisis impacts water resources management today and will likely have long-lasting impacts due to the socio-economic crisis and shifting political priorities. As water actors, how do you adapt your work to continue bringing change to achieve water security? Can we identify \u2018success factors\u2019 to make change happen in this new environment?<\/i><\/p>\n

AGENDA & TIMINGS<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

OPENING SESSION<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

THREE CONTINENTAL SESSIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The three continental sessions will allow partners from within and different regions to meet one another and share their views, contributing to a stronger Global Water Partnership. Key messages coming out of the exchanges will be shared with the whole Network and with decision-makers, and will further inform GWP programmes in the regions.<\/p>\n
