Wereld Water Forum KyotoWECF en enkele Europese partnerorganisaties hebben actief deelgenomen. In March 2003 the 3rd World Water Forum was held in Kyoto. The discussion focussed on women, water, privatisation, public participation and poverty. WECF and a small delegation of partners from MAMA-86 Ukraine, M&S Romania, UDASA Uzbekistan and Western European partners took an active part in Forum. Two workshops formed the basis of the WECF contribution. The first workshop covered the issues of gender, water and poverty reduction and asked the question whether women were just a target group or full partners. one example was a project in irrigation and water management in Sri Lanka and its contribution to poverty reduction. The second workshop discussed Pan-European local water initiatives through the adjustment of policies to local needs and solutions in NIS and Europe. The group focussed on clean drinking water and ways of successfull implementation and monitoring. Examples covered Romania, the Ukraine and Uzbekistan. Both workshops sent their results to Margot Wallström, Member of the European Commission. Related information on this issue
