5th World Water Forum Kick-off Meeting
In order to prepare new and relevent content for debate and proposals at the 5th World Water Forum in Instanbul, Turkey, in March 2009, a two-year preparatory process is being launched at a kick-off meeting on 19 and 20 March 2007 in Istanbul. Through interaction of stakeholders from every horizon, including representatives from numerous international institutions and ministries, more precise definition of themes and increased cooperation prior to the Forum will surely lead to an even more constructive event and to greater changes for water.
