Asia-Pacific Water Forum (APWF)

unconnected to the policy network. APWF has been created
during the IV World Water Forum in Mexico, March 2006 by
joint declaration of the ministers of the Asia-Pacific
region.
The basic purpose of the new
Forum is to promote sustainable water resource management
for achievement of the MDG in the
Asia-Pacific region.

“During the regional
process leading up to the 4th World Water Forum, it became
clear that several water-related issues and challenges were
common across the entire Asia-Pacific region. Furthermore,
with the increased interactions in the implementation of
follow-up activities to the 3rd World Water Forum held in
Kyoto in March 2003, stakeholders in the region quickly
recognized that the region's diversity was not an obstacle
but rather an asset to the identification and adoption of
solutions to specific water issues. Based upon this common
understanding, we will establish a new network, the
Asia-Pacific Water Forum, to work in complete solidarity to
identify and adopt solutions to water issues in the region.”

Asia-Pacific Region
