UN-Water Decade Programme on Capacity Development (UNW-DPC):
The
UN-Water Decade Programme on Capacity Development was established in
2007 in Bonn as a Programme of UN-Water in the framework of the "Water
for Life" Decade, 2005-2015, hosted by the United Nations University.
Its mandate is to strengthen the activities of the more than two dozen
UN organizations and programmes already co-operating within the
inter-agency mechanism known as UN-Water, and to add value and
facilitate the activities of the UN-Water members and support them in
their efforts to achieve the millennium goals related to water. This is
not just a matter of capacity development related to water, but also of
education, training and institutional development. In keeping with this
aim, UNW-DPC’s Mission Statement ‘is to enhance the coherence,
credibility and integrated effectiveness of UN-Water by strengthening
its capacity development programmes, particularly in developing
countries and economies in transition. In so doing, UN-Water will
demonstrate a vanguard role and leadership in bringing together
stakeholders in the capacity development field and creating added value
for their programmes.
As the International Decade for Action
"Water for Life", 2005-2015, is coming to an end, the UN-Water Decade
Programme on Capacity Development (UNW-DPC) will be closing in July 2015
in fulfillment of its mandate. | Read more
