The Global Water Partnership (GWP) is a dynamic, not-for-profit action network with over 1,800 committed Partner organisations around the world. Since GWP was founded in 1996, its chief focus has been to support social and economic change processes in developing countries that further the sustainable management and development of their water resources. The Partnership enjoys multi-donor support. Contributions from governments, and voluntary contributions from many Partners, ensure a coordinated approach to development assistance and support.
