Context
The International Network of Basin Organizations (INBO) and the Global Water Partnership (GWP) have initiated an "Associated Program" (AP) relative to the creation and development of basin organizations. This "Associated Program" should contribute to achieving the objective of "Integrated Water Resource Management". The GWP fosters its promotion in all the regions of the world relying on the network of its "Regional Technical Advisory Councils" (RTACs) for this purpose.
TwinBasin is one of the 4 outputs included in the associated program. This project has been selected within the framework of the "Global Change and Ecosystems" priority of the 6th Framework Program for European Research, and now aims at faciliting direct twinning arrangements between BOs, by defining a framework for action, by enabling the move of staffs between twin agencies and by capitalizing the knowledge thus acquired.
The European financing of the project will cover the operating expenses of the network (travels of the Steering Committe members, tool development, mobility scholarships, management of SIGs, dissemination of results, etc.).
