OVERVIEW AND PROGRAM
Spurred by agreement in Rio+20 on The Future We Want, government water leaders in Asia and the
Netherlands are searching for innovative solutions to secure their countries’ water futures and green
their economies. How to mainstream R&D to boost water productivity, conservation and reuse
across sectors, reduce water footprints, clean up waterways, and create multifunctional and green
infrastructure? How much space do rivers need? What makes communities more resilient, and water
agencies more adaptive in the face of rapid changes? How can the corporate sector help
governments manage for results?
To answer these and more questions, 3rd Asia-Netherlands Water Learning Week will bring leaders
together in dialogues and knowledge sharing on ´Partnerships for Green Growth and Water Security. '
This learning week is organized under the water knowledge partnership between the Asian
Development Bank (ADB) and UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, supported by the
Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs through ADB’s Water Financing Partnership Facility.
Participants from selected Asian countries will contribute project case studies from Asia and the
Netherlands and learn together in an intensive program how to leverage results from collaborative
approaches in water investment projects for cities and river basins.
The program will build on the successful experience of the 1st and 2nd Asia-Netherlands Water
Learning Week in which more than 60 Asian water leaders compared experiences with colleagues in
the Netherlands in making smart choices for water security and green growth. More information on
the previous learning weeks available on our ADB-UNESCO-IHE Partnership website: http://adbknowledge-partnership.unesco-ihe.org/projects
Participation in the learning week is targeted to project teams from Asia that seek to build new ways
of cooperation into new or ongoing urban and basin water projects. Participating project teams are
expected to include four to five highly motivated members, from preferably two different
government organizations, the corporate or private sector, civil society, and a development finance
or partner agency.
During the week’s intensive program, the selected teams will work and learn in partnership with
dedicated host organizations and experts from the Netherlands and UNESCO-IHE. The participating
project teams will work together with dedicated 'mirror teams' from the Netherlands water sector
mobilized by the UNESCO-IHE Organizing Team. By working together intensively, they will address
the challenges posed by the project team, develop innovative solutions, and share experience
through knowledge exchange.
We would like to thank all participating Dutch organizations for their input and hospitality during this
week and wish our guests from Asia an exciting learning experience.
