nonpartisan and nonpolitical network dedicated to improving sustainable
water management. Under the impulsion of APWF was created a networkof regional water expert organizations called the knowledgeHubs.
• Each KnowledgeHub has a specific priority water topic and focuses on
improving water security, promoting knowledge exchange and solutions
to solve water issues in the Asia-Pacific region.
• There are currently 17 hubs covering different water knowledge domains.
Besides JSC, the two following Japanese organizations are also membersof the KnowledgeHubs network:－Global Center of Excellence for Water Hazard and Risk Management(ICHARM)－Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES)• JSC was endorsed as a new knowledgeHub along with IGES, at the APWF
