The FWP brings together the French water stakeholders active on the international stage : Ministries, NGOs, local authorities, companies, river authorities and scientific and technical organisations. It currently has about sixty members. It is a forum for debate concerning the governance and management of water resources, which helps ensure that water is on the international agenda and maintains a political decision-making focus on water-related challenges, in particular the Millennium Development Goals.

Principles

The FWP has a Charter laying down its principles: operations are based on participation and consensus, no one category of members takes precedence over another. In signing the Charter,
its members undertake to develop its action programme, in particular by taking part in its working groups, whether thematic (sanitation, local governance, and so on) or for specific events (World Water Forum, Commission on Sustainable Development, etc.).
