| Was? |  The Global Public Policy Network on Water Management (GPPN) was established by Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) and Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future at the World Water Week in 2006. It was conceived in consultation with a wide range of international water management stakeholders to enable a successful review of water management at the 16th session of the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD-16), in May 2008.
Building on the momentum around water and sanitation generated by CSD-16, the GPPN will continue its work in preparation for CSD-17 through 2008-9. Activities will include the establishment of Working Groups on key water and sanitation topic areas, putting a specific focus on water and sanitation in relation to the five thematic issues under discussion at CSD-17: Agriculture, Rural Development, Land, Drought, Desertification and Africa. The GPPN will also look at wider issues that have not been addressed thoroughly by the Commission on Sustainable development, such as Transboundary Management, Virtual Water and the Right to Water. It is hoped that in doing so, the GPPN will create a framework for the international water and sanitation agenda 'Up to and Beyond 2015'. At this side event, the GPPN Secretariat will outline its plans in preparation for CSD-17, invite speakers to comment on how water and sanitation can be best incorporated into the CSD-17 agenda, and also take a look at the key issues that need to be addressed as part of identifying the priority areas for the water and sanitation sector up to and beyond the 2015 targets of the Millennium Development Goals. Speakers include Felix Dodds, Stakeholder Forum; Karin Lexen, Stockholm International Water Institute and others to be confirmed. |
