About
The OSCE Programme Office will support the annual Water Forum with a specific focus on practical solutions for water governance and intersectoral co-operation. This event will bring together some 80 water experts from the state, non-governmental and international organizations as well as students and private sector representatives.
The meeting’s discussions will primarily focus on the better water governance and improved co-operation among the stakeholders as well as the role of young leaders across the Central Asian region and Afghanistan in the water management sector. The participants will also review the results of the Seventh World Water Forum, assess the main challenges in the country and talk about the application of integrated water resources management (IWRM) principles in the national framework.
The event is part of the Office’s longstanding efforts to foster water diplomacy in the regional context and to support sustainable utilization of water resources in Kazakhstan.
