Menu Home About NWP Platforms As a low lying delta of three large rivers flowing into the North Sea, the Netherlands and water management are synonymous. The Netherlands has always looked for ways to share its knowledge and expertise and to learn from others. The Netherlands Water Partnership supports the Dutch water sector in doing so and enables it to have an even greater impact internationally through international collaborations. Country specialists and platforms In its role as co-implementer of several programmes of the Dutch Government, NWP arranges country-specific platforms for organisations in the Netherlands. Participants regularly meet to discuss opportunities, collaboration and ongoing activities in the country of their interest. Country focus Dutch Resilience Hub When combined, the Netherlands is producing a vibrant ecosystem of resilience solutions that can help support partners in different countries withstand the challenges brought by climate change. By coming together, Dutch resilience organisations can identify partners and create dynamic teams to seize more opportunities, exchange lessons learned from working in new markets abroad, and generate more innovation from the synergies of working together. NWP wants to include in the Dutch Resilience Hub all Dutch organisations providing resilience solutions to cities and towns, coastal communities, and rural areas. Read more WACA Hub The coastal communities that live along the West-African coast are facing a range of water challenges, such as coastal erosion, floods and storm surges. To support these communities and their governments in their efforts to tackle these issues, the West-African Coastal Areas Management (WACA) Program was established by the World Bank in partnership with West-African countries, regional institutions and international organisations. As part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP) and the World Bank that was signed in June 2020, NWP has committed itself to establishing and managing a Dutch WACA hub.
