SDG 6 IWRM Support Programme activities

Global Water Partnership (GWP)

Key words:

SDG, IWRM, Country support

Description:

The Support Programme assists governments in designing and implementing country-led responses to SDG indicator 6.5.1—the degree of implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM)—as an entry point to accelerate progress towards the achievement of water-related SDGs and other development goals. It does so in three stages: Stage 1 - Identifying challenges: Strengthening SDG 6.5 national monitoring and reporting frameworks to identify critical areas for attention. Stage 2 - Formulating responses: Assisting countries in formulating appropriate responses to water resources management challenges. Stage 3 - Implementing solutions: Supporting countries in implementing solutions aimed at achieving SDG 6.5.

Activity Outcomes

To improve the degree of implementation of IWRM globally to at least 90% by 2030. The SDG 6 IWRM Support Programme aims to do that through the following: 1. Supporting the development and implementation of regional IWRM agendas and work plans, in line with Regional Economic Commissions and development banks 2. Initiating or supporting efforts to advance on specific water-related themes and crosscutting issues through an IWRM approach (food security, gender mainstreaming, private sector engagement, youth empowerment, data collection, funding matchmaking, etc.), across multiple geographies 3. Assist countries in defining and implementing multi-stakeholder national IWRM Action Plans, which articulate water resources management with countries’ climate change planning and post-COVID recovery (among others), thus increasing resources efficiency and impact.
