The latest policy brief on IWRM published: Policy brief No 4, How IWRM will contribute to achieving the MDGs

The brief is part of a series of policy and technical briefs designed to help countries accelerate their efforts to achieve the action target for the preparation of IWRM and water efficiency strategies and plans set by the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) and reinforced by the 2005 World Summit. The series tackles key issues and potential stumbling blocks and attempts to give countries at the beginning of the process the benefit of lessons learned from those further down the path. The series complements Catalyzing Change: A Handbook for Developing Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and Water Efficiency Strategies. The handbook and all associated briefs can be downloaded from www.gwpforum.org or hard copies can be requested from gwp@gwpforum.org.
