ASIA-PACIFIC
WATER FORUM
The Asia-Pacific Water Summits will be
organized by the APWF every two or three years. It will
target top-level policy and decision-makers outside the
water sector, such as heads of the government and ministers
of finance and planning, as well as leaders from the private
sector, civil society and the media.
The Summits will create incentives for
these leaders to showcase tangible water sector results in
their respective countries, as reflected by increased water
investments, adoption and implementation of strategic
reforms, improved water governance at all levels, and
significant progress in reaching the MDGs. The Governing
Council will report on the key findings from the APWF
process (KRAs, Priority Themes, and appropriate sub-regional
results) to the top-level leaders at the Summit.
Participation in the Summits will be by
invitation only.
The 1st Asia-Pacific Water
Summit will be organized in Japan in 2007. The Steering
Committee for the Summit will carry out the necessary
organization of the event and will mobilize the required
funding with assistance from member organizations of APWF
and other interested parties.
