PWP has conducted activities for promotion of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and related causes from its inception in February 1999. PWP concluded that success in IWRM requires grassroots action. Thus it helped create a number of local level organisations called ”Area Water Partnerships” (AWPs). AWPs are visualised as a network of existing government departments, line agencies, non-government organisations, community based organisations, local institutions, stakeholders, water experts and common users at the grassroots level, with the prime focus to disseminate, practice and propagate the principles of IWRM to eradicate poverty and improve livelihoods. Eight AWPs have been established throughout the country. The side event will enable participation of representatives of GWP-South Asia and the Country Water Partnerships from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, apart from others. PWP will present two AWPs who have solidly contributed to mitigate problems with local actions by adopting IWRM principles. Promoting Civil Society Partnership in the Water Sector Convenor: Pan African Vision for the Environment (PAVE) The current record of civil society engagement by the Lagos Private Sector Participation (PSP) process with respect to transparency and accountability is seen by both civil society and funders/donors to need considerable strengthening. Thus the PAVE project on the Lagos water sector reform monitoring has facilitated civil society participation in the PSP process. The goal of Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) is to facilitate and promote awareness, appreciation, knowledge and stewardship of water resources in Nigeria through the development and dissemination of classroom material, including ready-teaching aids such as a curriculum and activity guide. This project is ongoing in schools. 17:15–18:45 Folkets Hus, Room 300 From Poster to PowerPoint to Pod Cast: Reaching the Public with Meaningful Visual Information about Water, Drainage Basins and the Hydrologic Cycle Convenor: Watershed Media Project Rivers and lakes, as with most surface water, are easily seen. Groundwater, deep oceans, the water sequestered in plants and flows of atmospheric water are not as easily 20
perceived. With the most recent developments in sensing and visualisation, many more people can understand and interpret these important parts of the hydrologic cycle. The side event will show and discuss a number of short (1–5 minute) fi lms about water, intended to be disseminated primarily over the internet to an international audience. The many uses of these fi lms will be discussed, including how the fi lms can be made useful for the water community in the dissemination of essential knowledge about water to stakeholders and the general public. Sunday 20 August Monday 21 August 17:15–18:45 Folkets Hus, Room 307 New Aid Modalities in the Water Sector Tuesday 22 August Convenors: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, Danida, in Cooperation with the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), UK Wednesday 23 August Since the early 2000s there have been marked changes in international development cooperation, especially in terms of new aid implementation approaches and delivery mechanisms. Harmonisation and alignment – and mainstreaming – have all received considerable prominence in new aid approaches, and increasingly so in the water sector. This side event explores early lessons learnt in working towards new modalities in the water sector – drawing from lessons learnt by national partners, Danida and DGIS – and seeks to synthesise lessons emerging for both policy and practice. At the same time the side event will draw on a broader range of experiences and seek to develop new action-oriented approaches to improve sharing of experiences in the water sector between and within development partners, governments and civil society. The side event will be chaired by Mr. Jan Møller Hansen, Senior Advisor at the MoFA, Danida, and will feature presentations from Ms. Kathi Welle from ODI, UK, Mr. Frank van Steenbergen from MetaMeta, Netherlands, and speakers from national authorities and partners from Uganda and Vietnam.
