Organising the region’s involvement
The Asia-Pacific Water Forum (APWF) has been acting as the regional coordinator of the Asia-Pacific region since the 4th World Water Forum. It is an independent, not-for-profit, non-partisan, non-political network of stakeholders in the Asia Pacific region with members from governments, international organizations and civil society.
The APWF was created following a call from the region’s water ministers to help address the challenges of the Asia Pacific Region.
