Event International Conference on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM): Lessons from Implementation in Developing Countries and the 2nd Africa Regional meeting of the National Committees of UNESCO’s International Hydrological Programme

On the occasion of the 10 year anniversary into the implementation of the South African Water Law, the Water Research Commission of South Africa in partnership with the UNESCO International Hydrological Programme (IHP) focal point, the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry and the Water Institute of Southern Africa are organising a three day conference aimed at sharing experiences and lessons on IWRM from developing countries. The intention of the conference is to create a platform for practitioners and policy makers in the developing world to share their experiences in the implementation of IWRM.

The conference is not exclusive to developing countries but is an opportunity for dialogue between developing countries’ experiences and the developed world as well as the donor society on the latest lessons and implementation experiences that can shape new concepts or adapting existing ones.
