The UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, the Singapore Public Utilities Board, and ADB have a mutual interest in managing knowledge and building capacity for integrated water resources management and the delivery of water services. They signed a cooperation agreement to support the Asia-Pacific Water Forum (APWF) in June 2007 in Delft, the Netherlands.
The UNESCO-IHE, PUB, ADB supports the APWF’s first key result area on developing water knowledge and lessons for the Asia-Pacific region. It will have an initial implementation period of 2 years. Before the end of that period, the partners will review the Cooperation and decide on its possible extension.
