|
ADB at Singapore International Water Week ADB and partner organizations are convening the Eye on Asia Day on 23 August at this year’s World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden. More details |
ADB’s Water Awareness Program (WAP), implemented from 2002 to 2005, created an environment supportive of effective water policies in the Asia-Pacific region. It was one of the six program categories under the Cooperation Fund for the Water Sector (CFWS).
For four years, the WAP program expanded water sector knowledge within and outside ADB through various awareness tools. Critical water issues across Asia and the Pacific received media mileage through WAP knowledge products and other activities organized or supported by WAP.
Today, ADB continues to promote public awareness on water issues through new and evolving awareness tools and media activities.
