World Water Forum 8
The GEF IW:LEARN project tackles the cross-cutting issue of capacity in the water sector through face-to-face learning experiences, knowledge management support, capacity building and outreach. Specifically the IW:LEARN project strengthens transboundary water management around the globe by collecting and sharing best practices, lessons learned, and innovative solutions to common problems across the GEF International Waters portfolio. It organizes training sessions, workshops, twinning experiences and global events to promote learning among project managers, country official, implementing agencies, and other partners.
