Its objectives are to:

  • Provide countries and organizations in the Asia-Pacific region with a common platform for articulating the region’s strategies and promoting its achievements in solving water problems
  • Showcase leadership in decision-making, excellence in practice and innovation, and concrete results that have had a substantial impact at the grassroots level
