Cooperation Fund for the Water Sector (CFWS)
The CFWS was established in December 2001, following the adoption of the ADB's Water for All policy, to help catalyze the policy's implementation. As predecessor of the WFPF, the multi-donor CFWS financed a coherent program of activities designed to add value and increase synergy in ADB's water sector operations through better awareness, knowledge management, capacity building to support reforms, pilot and demonstration, water partnerships, and regional cooperation, monitoring, and coordination.
The CFWS's grant resources focused on better understanding of sector issues, advancement of reform measures, and development of capacities within ADB and in its developing member countries. It also helped to establish regional networks and partnerships for knowledge sharing, capacity development, and leadership.
Contributions to the CFWS reached US$21.5 million from the following financing partners
- The Netherlands - US$ 19.4 million
- Norway - US$ 2.1 million equivalent
The Fund was closed in December 2009.
