Regional Perspectives // Regional Perspectives in the Bonn2011 Nexus Conference

The Global Water Partnership (GWP) has committed to support the Bonn2011 Nexus process at a regional level

Logo gwp
The priority questions presented by the Bonn2011 Nexus Conference Organizers were discussed during the GWP Consulting Partners Meeting in August 2011, attended by representatives from all 13 GWP Regions, and the Regional Steering Committee meetings in the following regions: Central and Eastern Europe (representatives of 13 countries), Southern Africa (representatives of 12 countries) and South East Asia (representatives of 9 countries). Views on existing processes and what further actions need to be undertaken to institutionalize an integrated approach were discussed in detail in the three regional meetings. Following from this process GWP provides a background paper based on experience and examples from different Global Water Partnership Regions to help with understanding the nexus. Furthermore, it discusses opportunities and approaches to addressing the three areas in a more integrated way within and across national boundaries; highlights the importance of looking at these development areas from a non-water perspective; and finally discusses the important role that different stakeholders need to play. {conference/programme/show__12/understanding_the_nexus|
