As of today, more than 1.5 years later, the WWAP secretariat is yet to move to Perugia.
Is it possible to know exactly what the WWAP secretariat will do? What is its mandate?
The World Water Assessment Program (WWAP), housed in UNESCO, monitors freshwater issues in order to provide recommendations, develop case studies, and inform the decision-making process. It also seeks to enhance assessment capacity at a national level Its primary product, the World Water Development Report (WWDR), is a periodic, comprehensive review providing an authoritative picture of the state of the world’s freshwater resources.
