GWP ANNUAL WORK PROGRAMMING CYCLE

Creating coherence, delivering results :Five proposed areas of thematic focus within the Strategy (a standard format for operational strategy/reporting)

UNDER GOAL 1 :

• FINANCING WATER : Increasing Investment in Sustainable Water Resources Management and Development

• TRANSBOUNDARY WATER MANAGEMENT : Facilitating Cooperation

UNDER GOAL 2 :

• WATER AND CLIMATE CHANGE: Building climate resilience through increasing water security

• WATER AND FOOD SECURITY : Achieving Food Security through Integrated Land and Water Management

• INTEGRATED URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT : Tackling Urbanization

Creating coherence, delivering results :Five proposed areas of thematic focus within the Strategy (a standard format for operational strategy/reporting)

SCALING UP REGIONAL WATER PARTNERSHIPS:

• A minimum staff base in the Regional Secretariat – a full-time coordinator as well as human resources for financial management, fundraising, communications, knowledge management and reporting

• Regional and country governance structures

(revision of the Conditions of Accreditation)• Management of regional Knowledge Partners and technical professionals

through the regional knowledge platforms• Fund-raising with country donors and the private sector• Facilitating partnerships with banks/economic institutions

Organizational support and capacity needs:Under the growth scenario

MAINTAINING THE GLOBAL SECRETARIAT (lean not mean):

• Network Operations : thematic focus areas as well as network support• Communications :

– Reporting– Knowledge Management and GWP ToolBox– Communications Infrastructure

• Finance and Administration growing in line with other changes • Office of the Executive Secretary : management, fundraising, statutory

obligations, supporting governance and oversight functions

SCALING UP THE GWP TECHNICAL COMMITTEE :• Provides intellectual leadership to keep GWP at the forefront of new ideas and

challenges• Provides demand-driven technical support to Regional and Country Water

Partnerships• Supports GWP as an informed and independent voice in water-related

international debates

Establishment of a Knowledge Fund for specific initiatives

(cf. GW-MATE; Knowledge Chain workshops) Establishment of a High-level Panel on

the Economics of Water Security (cf. Camdessus, Gurria panels)

Organizational support and capacity needs:Under the growth scenario

OPTION 1 :• All RWPs receive the same amount of (reduced) core funding to maintain

Regional Secretariat and governance• Regions and countries raise funds to support activities

• Secretariat reduced to minimum size :– Maintain fiduciary oversight– Basic communications– Basic network support– Maintain GWP ToolBox– Restructure GWP Technical Committee

Organizational support and capacity needs:Under the Status Quo scenario

OPTION 2 :• RWPs receive different amounts of core funding based upon criteria

(related to need and performance)• Limited core funding for workplan implementation for some Regions • Regions and countries raise funds to support activities• Regions evolve with respect to funding needs• Successful Regions provide support to global level of GWP

• Secretariat and TEC reduced to minimum size as in Option 1

Organizational support and capacity needs:Under the Status Quo scenario

UNDER GOAL 2 :

• WATER AND CLIMATE CHANGE: Building climate resilience through increasing water security

• WATER AND FOOD SECURITY : Achieving Food Security through Integrated Land and Water Management

• INTEGRATED URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT : Tackling Urbanization
