Water Action Plan for Latin America and the Caribbean

closed

The overall objective of the Program is to assist the Region in developing a Water Action Plan for the Americas, plan that aims at achieving a sustainable water resources scenario in the Americas by the year 2025. Specific objectives are: (a) to reflect the present status of integrated water resources management systems and concrete actions in the Americas; (b) to identify investment activities in the sector for the short, medium and long term; (c) to translate these needs into concrete actions at the national, sub-regional and regional level; (d) to foster regional discussions, through virtual fora and other communications tools between stakeholders involved in water issues, and (e) to contribute to the organization of the Third World Water Forum (WWF-III, Japan, 2002).
