OVERVIEW AND PROGRAM

Spurred by agreement in Rio+20 on The Future We Want, government water leaders in Asia and the Netherlands are searching for innovative solutions to secure their countries’ water futures and green their economies. How to mainstream R&D to boost water productivity, conservation and reuse across sectors, reduce water footprints, clean up waterways, and create multifunctional and green infrastructure? How much space do rivers need? What makes communities more resilient, and water agencies more adaptive in the face of rapid changes? How can the corporate sector help governments manage for results?

To answer these and more questions, 3rd Asia-Netherlands Water Learning Week will bring leaders together in dialogues and knowledge sharing on ´Partnerships for Green Growth and Water Security. '

This learning week is organized under the water knowledge partnership between the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, supported by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs through ADB’s Water Financing Partnership Facility.

Participants from selected Asian countries will contribute project case studies from Asia and the Netherlands and learn together in an intensive program how to leverage results from collaborative approaches in water investment projects for cities and river basins.

The program will build on the successful experience of the 1st and 2nd Asia-Netherlands Water Learning Week in which more than 60 Asian water leaders compared experiences with colleagues in the Netherlands in making smart choices for water security and green growth. More information on the previous learning weeks available on our ADB-UNESCO-IHE Partnership website: http://adb-knowledge-partnership.unesco-ihe.org/projects

Participation in the learning week is targeted to project teams from Asia that seek to build new ways of cooperation into new or ongoing urban and basin water projects. Participating project teams are expected to include four to five highly motivated members, from preferably two different government organizations, the corporate or private sector, civil society, and a development finance or partner agency.

During the week’s intensive program, the selected teams will work and learn in partnership with dedicated host organizations and experts from the Netherlands and UNESCO-IHE. The participating project teams will work together with dedicated 'mirror teams' from the Netherlands water sector mobilized by the UNESCO-IHE Organizing Team. By working together intensively, they will address the challenges posed by the project team, develop innovative solutions, and share experience through knowledge exchange.

We would like to thank all participating Dutch organizations for their input and hospitality during this week and wish our guests from Asia an exciting learning experience.
